Those Words

By: RomanceIsMyDoom

Here I am

In your arms

Taking slow, painful breaths

--

I see your face

Tears streaming

Are you crying for me?

--

No, that’s impossible

You hated me

Remember?

--

All those times before

When I was weak

When I had to be protected

--

But my heart breaks as I see you cry

My heart is tired of breaking

Did you know?

--

Did you know

That each harsh word you said

Was like glass piercing my heart

--

But I couldn’t let go

No matter how many times I told myself

You were not worth it

--

I was losing myself in the process

But I realized

Why I did what I did

--

It was because you were worth it

That was my purpose in life

To prove to you that someone loved and still loves you

--

Not for your looks

Not for your money

Not for your physical strength

--

But because you were you

I loved everything about you

I saw past the cold exterior

--

And do you know what I saw?

You wouldn’t believe me

But I saw a young boy, waiting to be loved

--

I wanted to be that person

That person that would save you

Save you from the darkness

--

So as I lie here

Near death’s door

In your arms

--

I want you to know

Something I’ve always told you before

So do not forget

--

My heart will always be yours

I love you

For you are worth it
