Dropped

When I met you time stopped.

You had this fire that made my stomach drop.

I talked about you like night and day.

I never really thought we may get to have our day.

But curses lifted and times they changed.

My soul was lonely; you lit my flames.

Things heated up so fast, an intensity that melted glass.

But the flames, they faded, I played the fool.

I wanted to do what I do; I wanted to fix you.

But you aren't broken; you're cracked like me.

You don't need me to fix you; you just needed me.

I swore I'd never hurt you; I failed at that.

I said some things that I can't take back.

But now I see where I went wrong and where I went right in the past, not that far gone.

I can be that person again, that made you fall in love.

I can be that person, I can be that drug. That happiness you didn't know existed, the passion that changed your world, the embrace you once resisted.

I'll hold your hands, I'll wipe your tears, I'll show you love comes without fear.

I've kissed your lips a million times, awake, asleep, and I've seen the signs.

Now each day I see you and time still stops.

My heart starts racing, my stomach still drops.

As we danced in my office I dreamed of us.

I didn't want to let you go, but I knew I must.

If you let it go and it comes back, they say it's meant to be, and we will have our day

I pray you'll be mine, one day, not now. When I can give you a ring, on my knee, I'll bow.

I'll treasure your heart above all else. Your soul and mind in me they'll dwell.

I'd give my body, life, and breath, for you.

And through the darkness, your light blazes through.

You guide me forward, you've changed my world.

In you I've found purpose and hope and more.

Time still stops, my stomach drops, I go completely numb.

You make me feel happy, peaceful and young.
