You fight to find me.
You turn me inside out and undermine me.
Digging out the feelings trapped inside me.
Breaking all the chains that tried to bind me.
And all I want to do is try to hold you.
To tell you all the things I've never told you.
But fighting with myself, I bleed to keep you.
I do everything I can, not to need you.
Because the fear of being crushed by this is daunting, looming.
Baring witness to a love this pure is all consuming.
That the thought of losing you right now is enough to break me.
But then you say those 3 words, and completely save me...
Then I'm reminded,
That the kindness in your eyes, it's eternal.
And that behind the capable woman is still the fragile girl,
Who's just as scared as me of this brand new world.
Yet you hold my hand, and you don't let go.
You're braver than me, with an innocent soul.
Your smile grabs hold of my heart and won't take no.
You walk forward, and I follow, into thee unknown...
------
"If you could see the way I act when I'm alone
If you could hear my voice crack over the phone
Then you'd know I need you, oh, you'd know I need you
Oh, you'd know I need you to love me"
-Norah Jones
