Is it real?

It seems too soon.

Did I trust you too much?

Did I become vulnerable to a stranger?

So many times this has happened,

How do I know when it’s true?

Because you alone is what makes me happy,

Even if you don’t think you’re worth it,

I know you’re wrong.

You’re the best thing that has ever happened to me.

You help me through the struggles.

Knowing when you’re happy makes me smile,

And I laugh with you.

You know who to get rid of my cares.

I am myself with you.

Our troubles are nothing in the face of our love.

You’re better than my dreams,

Only this one is coming true.

I know you see through my disguise.

But is it too soon to be real?

So many I have known

Have taken the paths that lead to nowhere,

And I will protect you from that.

For they never come back,

From that dark forbidden road,

Where they let the strangers lead them;

They lead them into destruction.

They pretend to know you,

And then take you by surprise,

And attack, and leave you to find your own way down this road,

hurt and abused.

And I can’t help them with their suffering and sadness,

For they have gone too far for me to save them,

And bring them back.

How do I know you are not two-faced,

If you are just another back-stabber?

How do I know this love is real?

That you are not just leading me into a trap?

I familiarized myself with you;

Will you turn on me?

Is it too soon to hope for a miracle?

To hope for the hopeless?

I’m sick inside,

Because it’s hard to hold on,

To ignore the rest of the doubt.

Is it worth giving you a chance?

Are you just another person

Waiting to attack and destroy me?

Please, I’m waiting…

I’m sitting here and wondering,

Considering the possibilities.

There are so many choices,

And I don’t know which one I should choose.

Are you worth trusting?

Should I trust you?

I can’t hold out much longer,

With all this pressure closing in.

I’m opening up my heart to you,

Don’t break it.

It's been trying to heal,

from all the lies and deceit.

Please don't be like the rest.
