I knew that you were afraid
And I assured you not to fear
I knew you needed me there
You knew I needed you here
Time seemed so precious
Since we had found this between us
There was so much between us
You promised not to let it stop you
From getting to me
You would never have ceased
Until you felt me near
For we had all of these blank pages
We had yet to fill
With perfect memories
All of them were for only you
I didn't mind waiting forever
I shall have passed the time
Knowing you exist
Thinking about your smile
I already could not resist
Even I was denied the sight of your face
By your side was the only place
I would be for eternity in your arms
For it was the only place
That I could feel free
The only place I could simply be me
While knowing that was all you needed
But perversly I had hurt you
The one thing I had sworn to never do
Adding to my miseries
And if you don't forgive me
This shall be my last apology
As I wither in agony
And tears shall rain from my heart
As my every thought, my every move
Shall be to reimburse my trust with you
Until you approve
And if you never forgive me
Only God will
For I shall never forgive myself
What is this in me?
This newfound doubt
I wait as it consumes me
Falling in and falling out
Of a feeling that I can't seem
to hold close to me
Though it is within my reach
This feeling that has held me
together all these years
Is resting right in front of me
Watching all of my tears
I am on a vessel
and this feeling is the determined sea
for as soon as I pull myself out of the water
It swells up and captures me beneath
I'm drowning and I cannot breathe
But it is this that rescues me
This escape
from what lies above
Keeps me addicted
to my one true love
With this in mind I"ll strive
while this doubt is yet alive
to force it up and out of my sea
Defeating that which keeps me from thee
