Your innocence

Behind that childish innocence,
And that playful way you act,
Deep down inside your soul,
Is someone strong and courageous.

I have to admit, that you were the one,
You peeled away the icey layer,
The protection I had grown,
I guess I was afraid to feel.

You know when I look at you,
I get this funny feeling,
It's right here inside my heart,
Is this, the emotion they call love?

I'm a little scared to say it,
But I have to admit to it,
There are nights I've lay awake,
Thoughts of you stuck in my head.

I've sometimes wondered,
What would happen if I told you,
All these feelings that I have,
Building up inside of me.

Perhaps it's time,
That I let you know what you've taken,
Because I truly do think,
That you have stolen my heart.

Forget the strength,
And that love that makes you weak,
Because now I think I'm wrong,
Love can only make you strong.

These emotion burst out,
There's one thing that I'm asking,
Just to hold you in my arms,
And feel your lips against mine.

So let me hold your hand in mine,
Press your body close to mine,
Because your warmth,
Is something I desire.
