for love
When I first met you
You were something I desired but could never reach
You were always at my finger tips
But we seem to never touch
You amazed me with how brave you were
And you were oh so free
You were always laughing and smiling
And for some reason you were drawn to me
Finally as we touched we exploded
And our worlds collided
At first I was full of insecurities and doubt
Until I finally made up my mind and decided
I chose this life with you
You and I were doing this together
My burden seemed a little heavier
But somehow still light as a feather
I couldn’t wait to tell the world
About the new love I had found
But this world didn’t take to keenly to us
And it wasn’t so safe and sound
It kept trying to tear at us
And break us, make us grow apart
I was barely holding on to you
As we were fighting through the dark
The world would whisper in my ear
That you would never be enough
That I shouldn’t be chained to you
I won’t make it and it’s too tough
And it whispered in your ear too
I don’t know how you held on to me and I to you
I have no idea how you deciphered the lye from the true
The world would tell many tales of me with another
You would just hold your hand up, and simply not bother
It never fazed you, but I was not so strong
I was starting to think I was oh so wrong
For giving you a chance but I kept on
And soon I realized that the world is evil and it can be wrong
The world doesn’t want to see me happy
And few want me to succeed
And even fewer want me to pass them and exceed
They wanted me to give up the best thing that I had
They loved to bully me and push me and make me feel bad
And that they did, but you were always comforting
And you stuck by my side
And you helped me realize that safety is where we abide
So I whipped off my tears, and smiled through
And soon I realized that all that matters is me and you.
The world will one day stop, as I take back my power
That there is light at the end, soon this will all be over
You challenged me to hold on tight to what I’ve seen
And to forgive, but not to forget where I had been
Because who I was with before
Would only hurt me all the more
But you have so much instore
I realized that nothing could ever compare to what we have
Not to sink to their level but keep rising above
And that no matter what, its always worth it for love.
