Feelings on Paper

My dreams haunt me
I wake up suddenly
like a fish out of water
You hold my hand and tell me everything’s okay
Somehow I believe it
Even on this marked day
I’m slowly falling apart
Having you here comforts my heart
I think I can heal
Get through this
and start to feel
Just to be normal
Wouldn’t that be something
They say love can heal all wounds
I hope that’s true
Because I’m putting all my eggs in one basket
You
No pressure baby
Just hold me and be
Look ahead with me
Let’s build our family tree
We can accept the good and the bad
Because the good is worth it
Something neither of us ever had
I said I’ll never hurt you babe
I know how it feels
I’m sorry you’ve never heard those words
