how hard is it to love someone
not for what they can give you
but for themselves
and what they mean to you
how hard is to live life
instead of watching it pass you by
how hard is to give everything of yourself
and ask nothing in return
how hard is to be true to yourself
and no longer lie to yourself everyday
because it is not alright to give up
on yourself, or your life
many people pulled the strings in my life
and they have been cut
from me and my life
i no longer want strings attached
i want a partner to through this sometimes tragic life
someone to hold me through the long nights
and someone to stand beside me through the tiredsome days
someone to be a parent with
and welcome into my world
someone to help me spread my wings and fly
instead of cut me down to size
someone to see the real me
and you do
and now it is up to you my love
my heart aches for pain caused in the past
but i hope i do not have to pay the price
but get the prize of you in my life instead..
a prayer that i pray does not fall on deaf ears
for i am just starting to believe again
you are in my life for a reason
the whys will be answered in time
but for now i will just love you
and see how this hand plays out
win or lose
my heart is yours
no one will ever have a chance again
a simple man
for a simple woman
and a family that is ours
i pray it is not too much to ask
but it may be yet again
and how my heart will break
shattered beyond repair
if i am denied the chance
to breathe again
to love again.
i love you and i pray this is enough
