I Can Love You

Heart racing as you cup my face
Staring face to face I bite my lip
You call it sexy I call it anxiety
Mind racing and hands are shaking
I want you to stay but I want to run away
Please give me a chance to prove myself
Prove to you that I can love you back
Heartbreaking and pride crumbling
You walk away turning back one last look
Please don't go I can love you I really can
Shaking your head you open your arms
Running to you like a child to his mother
Clinging to your neck sobbing ugly tears
You whisper sweet soothing words
Petting my hair and rubbing my back
I love you I really do I just don't know how to show it
I'm not comfortable cuddling and kissing
I'm scared to lay beside you but with time
I'll be right with time you will teach me I'm time
I love you I really love you to the moon and back
I cringe sometimes when you kiss me but it's not you it's me
It's that monster within my mind to that sends those nasty memories
Please don't go please stay and work with me
If you love me stay and help me conquer my demon
I can love you I really know I can I just need help
I can love you I really can I just need you to hold me safe and warm
I can love you as long as you love me
