Hearts plea

I just want to be something good to someone,

Or be something good for myself—

To do something amazing with my life,

And be remembered.

Or have the kind of love

That shifts space and time,

The very fabric of existence—

Heal them through the pain,

And love them despite their faults,

Maybe because of their faults.

And never give up on someone,

Always be there for them,

Even if we're not together,

And keep them okay,

Cherish the moments

With someone new.

I just want my heart to mend,

Not feel so abandoned.

This I pray tonight,

Leave at early morning’s light—

Fall asleep,

Wake to hear her voice,

Break no contact,

Watch as the stars align

With the planets and moon.

I want her for so much more

Than she will ever know,

And love her for the rest of her life,

Even if I’m not by her side.

And never say goodbye to someone else,

Keep them out of harm’s way.

I do pray,

Even if I don’t know how,

Watch as the stars align

With the planets in sight,

And bring her back to me.

Will you let me try to heal you?

Because I see you,

And I see what you suffered through—

And still do.

Maybe I’m wrong,

But I think

I can be good for her.

I can be good for you.

I’m a lover, not a fighter,

And I’ll watch this through till the end.

Will you let me love you,

Even if you’re scared?

And let me in,

Even if it scares you?

Even if the stars

Barely shine through

The dimly lit city lights tonight

I will never hurt you.

I will try

To always be by your side.

Please come back,

And I’ll never leave your side,

Hold you until the day we die.

Life is gritty—

She’s right,

It’s no fairy tale.

And I’ll always be her friend,

No matter how sick she gets.

But I found someone new—

That doesn’t mean I’ll ever forget you.

I’ll be here no matter what,

And whatever she goes through,

I’ll always be a phone call away,

By her side,

Even if she chooses someone else.

This is so much more than physical—

This is something you will never forget.

Just let me take your hand,

And never leave your side.

Let me try and heal

The pain you feel.

And if I’m wrong,

If it’s not that deep,

If the pain isn’t that bad,

That’s fine too.

But if you ever need a friend,

If you need a hand to hold,

If you ever need anything—

I’m just a phone call away.

And if you still want to elope one day,

I’ll be here too,

Because I know deep down—

You care.

I know.

I know.

I know.
