From the moment we said hello
I mean really said hello
And I heard your voice
I knew I needed you
Needed more than what we shared
Your need to make me trust you
To help me, so you said
Scared me, but filled me with joy
I never knew I could feel so good
And be so scared at the same time
I wish there were words I could give you
To make your trust come easily
The assurance that I am older
Wiser perhaps, different than your others
Somehow rings hollow
When your experience outweighs mine
In so many respects
But I need you to trust me
And to love me more than your others
Selfish thing that I am
And I want you to believe me
When I say I will be here for you
No matter what you feel you have done
Or who you have been in your past
I need to touch your skin
To kiss your lips
To feel you breathing
And watch you as you hold my heart in your hands
This often broken heart I give to you
Every time I think of you,
Dream of you
I know I should end this
But I don't know how
Blame it on the fact
I never want to say goodbye
