This Boy Who Loves You

​

You stopped talking to me today,

How will you meet my eyes tomorrow?

If you grew tired this soon,

How will you stand beside me in the storms that follow?

I become a child when I’m with you,

Believing you’ll hold and steady me through,

But if one day you turn away,

Tell me… who will pull me close like you do?

I don’t really know how to make decisions,

My thoughts fall silent when you’re near,

It’s only my heart that keeps speaking,

Whispering your name in every breath I breathe here.

Sometimes I stay quiet on purpose,

Afraid my words might cause you pain,

I’m not careless, not indifferent—

It’s just your worries run through my veins.

Maybe my efforts seem too small to you,

But I’ve loved you more than I love myself, it’s true,

This love is still new and trembling,

That’s why I fear losing you.

Yes, I’ve made a thousand mistakes,

But my intentions were always pure,

Just hold my hand once—

And this boy will never let go, of that I’m sure.
