There's a weight on my chest
I only feel relief when you're near me.
That's when the anger fades to nothing
And when my heart begins to fly.
There are tears in my eyes
They refrain from making the journey down my face
And then you walk into the room
And every tear dries and my smile widens.
There's a pain in my heart
And I'm still hesitant to call this love
Even though you're my last thought before I dream,
And the first when I awake.
Even though I feel like you're my world
And that nothing matters as long as I'm with you...
Even though you always bring me a smile....
And that you give my heart wings.
I'm still reluctant to call this love
Although I know that's exactly what this is.

I like this. However, it seems to indirectly deal with being LGBT. I'm not entirely sure how I feel about that. But, it is still very good and I enjoyed it a lot. kudos.
