I'm Yours

I loved you first,
Beneath sheets of paper.
It was just a verse,
But it was all I could come up with.

I graced your hand,
Grabbed my pen,
and wrote what was in my heart.
"I felt a spark."
It was the best that I came up with.


And I don't know how I got to be this far,
Running in circles, finding my way through the dark.
Then there's the spark, and I can finally see:
You're the light to me, the light that I've been missing.


So never leave, me.
Never fear me.
Never distrust me, because I'm yours.


I love you now,
Beneath the sheets.
For what it's worth,
It's everything that I thought that it could be.


I graced your hand.
I let you in, to my bruised and battered heart.
I let you see everything that I'm missing.


And I don't know how I got so far
Running in circles, stumbling my way through the shadows of my heart,
without losing me, self-destructing.
You're the light that I needed.


So never leave, me.
Never fear me.
Never distrust me, because I'm yours.


Never pardon me.
No apologies,
I'm just being me. And I'm yours.


I'm yours.
Never leave me.
Never fear me.
Never pardon me.
I'm yours.


I loved you first,
Beneath sheets of paper.
For what it's worth,
It is everything I thought that it could be.


I felt a spark, from a verse, from a sound, from a look.
And now I'm yours.
I'm yours.
