Let Me Be. Poem by Jenna Kaminski

It seems like only yesterday
you stole my heart and ran away.
It was those pretty eyes of yours that brought me to my knees.
And that gorgeous smile you have that put my heart at ease.
Baby I have so much faith in you.
Even though it doesn't seem like it I know you love me too..
So please ignore my cautious nature..
For you and I both know I have no reason to be afraid..

Yeah so I lied a bit..
I'm scared to the bone and boy is it making me sick.
And I feel so terrible because every time you say,
'I love you, baby'
I just want run away
so fast that you could never ever catch me.
Maybe that's the way it's meant to be;
Both of us so far away from each other.
You know that's not what I want.
You know it's just a cover.
Lately I've been feeling a little antipathy.
Please don't take this personally..
It's only because you're closest to me.
So if I push you away,
I apologize.
And if you don't want to stay it's okay;
I realize
that I'm a little hard to deal with.
Because the truth is,
I'm still scared of being broken.
And I'm just waiting for you to take me
and b r e a k me.
Who am I kidding?
You already have me.
It should have been easy.
All you had to do was grab me.
My attention that is at the very most.

So actually, I take that back..
Nowadays, it takes quite a bit to get my mind off track.
But there was just something about you..
And I swear to this day I still don't know what it is that you do.
But I do know that
everytime you look at me,
everytime speak,
everytime laugh,
everytime you smile..
You inevitably leave me breathless.
So as of now, I'm going to pray to God to let this
crazy, beautiful mess we have together,
last a little while, if not forever.
And as I'm falling baby I'm hoping so much that you'll catch me.
But if that's too much for you I ask of you to please

let me be.
