To You, With Love

Dear Nick,

I'm scared..
And sometimes I hate to tell you that I am
because I'm supposed to be strong for both of us
Not let that trace of doubt get inside this mind of mine
and tell me things that aren't true.

I'm not always strong my love
And sometimes, you have to witness that
as I lie in the wake, watching the darkness drown me
You say you're helpless and can't stand by to watch
watch the darkness swallow my brown eyes into death.

I'm not strong enough for the two of us,
can't you see that?

Sincerely,
      Raye

                                              Dear Love,

                                                Why do you say you aren't strong?
                                                I see it in your eyes as you fight to stand
                                                as you fight to stand tall above everyone else
                                                you don't always listen to their cruel words
                                                Just listen to mine.

                                                                Sincerely,
                                                                    Nick

Dear Nick,

I am too weak.
At night I still want to cry
Because it still feels like a dream
that you're standing right by my side

Does it bother you at times
that whenever I'm crying I can't explain why?
I see you hurt like I do as you watch diamonds fall
but I keep telling you I'll be fine
just let me cry for a few hours.

          Sincerely,
                Raye

                        Dear Love
                            If you want to cry then why don't you tell me?
                            I'll give you the space, even time to scream away the pain
                            Do you believe that I will one day leave you in the dust;
                            tossed aside like a faded plaything that I don't want anymore?

                            I'm not like all those guys in your past
                            I ignore everything from those days;
                            Look at me! See my blue eyes that watch you when you sleep?
                            Ah, you do believe me as I watch you search my gaze
                            So, don't think I'll ever leave you alone.

                                                Sincerely,
                                                          Nick

                      Dear Nick,

                      I just wrote to tell you that I love you

                                    I love you too.

                                    Sincerely,
