A poem I wrote when I felt down about some troubles I had with my girlfriend
We make mistakes
It's who we are
I'm sorry when I do it
Still hoping you'll forgive me
Still praying that you love me

Worried I went too far
Worried it was too much
Can't help but think I miss you
Still wishing you'll want me

I need to say I'm sorry
Can't seem to get it right
Tomorrow we'll be fine
Tomorrow you'll love me
That's what I still want
That's what I still need

I don't want to drag you down
And I hate it when I do
I look at me again
And wonder why you chose me
The one who makes you feel bad

My head shouts and sings
Tells me dozens of things
The next one will get worse
The next will make me scream
The next will make me cry



Your life is yours
Mine is mine
I pray you'll still want me
I pray you'll still love me
Through all that I do wrong

My heart yearns for you
Does yours do it too?
I can't think of what to do
My words are empty now
I need you with me
Do you need me?

I wait for you to speak
The answer will come soon
We can work it out
Because the one I love is you
I know we'll be fine
But I know we'll both cry
For the things that haven't passed
And the things that pierce our past

I look back in wonder,
At the time we have shared,
And I ask myself these questions,
Is it you I want to live for?
Is it you I want to fight for?
Is it you I want to die for?
And I sit and wonder back at all the times we shared.

The answer is clear,
It's one I knew the whole time,
From the day I asked you out,
Until the day I'm still here.

Of course it's you I want,
Of course it's you I need
Of course it's you I love
The days go by,
Every chance to fight I'll take
If I live, I live my life for you,
If I have to die, who better to die for?
Than you.
