Reflecting back I see not only me, but visions of you.
Some pictures transform into an ugly view.
The mirror shows an image I don't like to see.
Sometimes it is you looking back at me.
...
If I succeed at nothing else in my life.. I hope to make you proud, I hope to raise you right. I hope you still keep hope when you witness the dark side of night. I hope you believe the sun will shine again. That a new day rises no matter where you've been. I want you to feel the joy and the love. To know that I will always place you above. Anything and everything is secondary.. You are number one. I know I will be the best I can be. And if this is my only job in life then i'll be forever happy.
...
I'll give you my heart and soul. I'll open up to u in any way possible.
Just to reassure you that your love is all I know & its the only love I want to know. Although what I feel for you is hard to explain, i'll do what I can to let it show.
When I feel your lips press against mine i'm in total bliss. Even after you're gone, if I close my eyes I can still feel ur kiss.
When you wrap ur arms around me I feel held in your captivity. But this love I don't want to escape from.
...
I. Keep. Falling.
Regain my composure and stand up again...
But then...
I think of my past and get so traumatized that I can't relax. I get these flashbacks nd my stance doesn't last...
...

Hold Me
Oh, what I would give right now just to have you here. For you to be able to hold me tight. Because maybe that will help me feel alright. I need your body warmth to make all this pain go away. I think a simple hug from you will help me to feel okay. I wish I could have you with me now just for a moment. So all the damage inside of me can no longer leave me broken. Your touch can heal me. I need you to hold me tight in your arms. Please don't let me go even if I try. Honestly I don't want to run away from you. I don't want to cry. I'm tired of all the tears escaping from my eyes. I never knew I had so many trapped inside. This feeling is inevitable... I have nowhere to hide. Yet being in your arms may help me confide. I need you to hold me even for a short moment in time. Being in your arms is the only place that will reassure me that i'm safe.
