Here in your arms,

I find peace at last

Something that I’m not used to,

But something that I used to have

Once a long time ago,

In a life that’s now come to pass

You tell me you love me,

God forbid me from saying it back

You don’t mind, though

Because all you want is for me to know

That you really do mean it

It’s funny to me

When I told you why,

You didn’t agree, but I still think it is

You found me in pieces

Without even knowing it

We started as friends

Accepting our flaws & our imperfections

But then we woke up to realize our connection

You asked me if we could begin again

You said hello to me,

God helped me say it back

We didn’t mind starting over

Because all we wanted to know

Was if we could make it as something more

All I wanted was to kiss you under the mistletoe

Here in your arms,

I close my eyes at last

Something that I’m getting used to,

But something that I fear I may lose

The future scares me, darling

I know the prospect of it

Frightens you too
