Make it easy, Take a breath
What else do you expect?
You hurt me and it's a feeling
That I can try to repress
But will never forget...

Feel lucky, I've given
You another chance to prove me wrong
I'm learning to trust you
Ever so slowly and perhaps
I might have been hasty
In letting you go or in forgiving
Confusion or clarity depends on the day
Either running into oblivion
Or easing out into your arms
I see a future nonetheless
With or without you...

I wouldn't have thought
That I'd still be in love with you
I never wanted you to change
Just yearned for you to believe
In self and in us
I know you want the best
But don't predict that my soul
Will soon be undressed figuratively
When it's time, I'll be ready
Intimacy can't be rushed...

Once we ran like children wild and free
Now we're crawling
Praying to walk for each other
Hand in hand
Camera doesn't lie
Smiles seem forced
Not as constant as you desire
But the fire is far more raging
Then a mere flicker
Just a few months ago
We must count our blessings...
