Can I ask you to hold me
To lay my head in your lap
Run your hands through my hair
In your arms be wrapped?
Can I ask you to bear
The weight of my tears
To hold me upright
As I face my fears?
Can I ask you to love me
When life is so hard
And this heart of mine
Is so utterly scarred?
Can I ask you to leave
All the comfort you've known
Your friends and your family
The place where you've grown?
Can I ask you to love me
Till death do us part
To share in my trials
And to share in my heart?
Can I ask you to be
The one I've searched for
Because, my dear friend,
You're the one I adore.
