Falling

Falling
Falling for you
it's so hard to allow
true love to come through
trials
and
tribulations
of the past
lingering in every corner
trying to skirt around the issue
but know it is still there

holding back, so as
not to get hurt
but hurting all the same
because this pain
is not from moving on
holding on to the past
maybe it is time
to
let it
go

Falling in love
with you
my heart sings
for me to let love in
but my mind remembers
the hurt
the pain
the shattered bones

Your heart remembers
the deceit
the lies
and cannot let it go
what a pair
what a wonderful, marvellous pair
we are

Both reaching out
but not quite
allowing souls
to touch
each other
looking through
glass
I see you and you see me
but really just a mirror
of ourselves

I will be your mirror
look into me
and
see
yourself
because I have been there to
and with time
and
hope
keep dreaming
falling in love again
it can come true
with you
with me

I take everything you are
all your scars
all your pain
because it makes you
beautiful
to
me
your strength is there
just hidden so you
can't see

To take a chance
I promise I won't tell
anyone
of
your inner hell
because my hell is
inside too
but I will kiss those places
and help you heal
we can mend together

Rome was not built
in a
day
but with passion
with focus
with skilled hands
and love
a wonderful creation
and we can
create too

Just be open to
the possibilities
don't hide behind
your pane of glass
don't sit outside
and continue
to
look
in

I open my window to
you
to my soul
I am willing to
let you
and your life
in
I take all of you
every last piece
and
will hold on
until my fingers numb
and the world
can hold me no more
just believe

and I will believe too
of
me
and
you.
