“I want to be with you.”
But he knew I wasn’t ready
He knew I didn’t have the capacity to give my heart away
He knew I lacked trust
But at every turn,
he made sure his words came with action
I was stubborn, this I knew
And that didn’t matter to him
He wanted to prove himself worthy of my love
And he wanted it all
“However long it takes, I’ll wait for you.”
When I looked into his eyes, I knew that he meant just that
And for the first time, I didn’t want to run anymore
Because I was no longer afraid for him to catch me.
