Yours To Keep

Removed my heart from my chest,
and put it in a pretty little box.
Rapped it in every fiber of my being,
and wrote your name across it.

This gift i give to you.
Falling for you so quickly, almost love at first sight.
I tried to deny it, but it was yours from the beginning.
Waiting for when the time is right.
When our love is no longer on hold.

Mind entangled,
Heart still in limbo.
Caught between the familiar and the unknown.
Decisions to be made and hearts inevitably to be broken.

Tears streamed down my cheeks as you spoke those words.
I was naked in my weakness.
With my heart on my sleeve,
And the dust in my hand.

So take the time to ponder life.
Arrange your thoughts.
Figure out your hearts desire,
And know that I'll be there.

No need for the love of an other,
For my heart is yours to keep.
