I’m scared to fall,
scared to take a chance,
walls closing in,
keeping love out,
but when I’m with you,
I am sure of myself,
sure of how I feel,
when I’m with you,
time slows down,
you’re taking me in,
captivated by the sea in your eyes,
i know when I’m with you,
there is no wrong in the world,
and when you hold me with that gaze,
I know,
you see with your heart,
not with your eyes,
and for that,
I love you.
