i am here.

i am here. to hold the odds.

i will be there. to keep you safe.

i will lend you my ears. my shoulders. just for u.

there was a pride i couldnt put down.

to surrender my heart. the very essence of me.

something i couldnt do. yet u made me give up the defenses.

here it is. my soul. my love. take it.

nurture it if u must. destroy it if u want.

it is yours to keep, yours to love.

i saw her tears. streaking down the face.

i sensed her pain. disappointment afflicted to others.

i felt the ache. somewhere within me.

i would hold her. i would love her.

if she trusts me with her heart.

and give me her soul.

the ringing pain of split love. sometimes. occurs to me.

as though i do not have her to myself.

time and again, i look into her eyes.

she would retract from me.

i am the toy of the gods.

it took me time and again, to prove my love to her.

i understand her pain. i understand her past.

thus. sadly. that is what pains me most.

we would hold our hands tight. just to see the dawn breaking.

i would have my arms around her waist. to let her stay.

my lips on hers. to taste.

the whispers in her ears. just to say.

i love you more than i can bear.

i want you more than anything precious.

once and once again.
