Arms

I hear her breathing
The comfort she brings is astounding
Ten years later and just the thought of her brings me to tears
So proud and so grateful
She is my heart
Nervous and shaking I held her
Small and insignificant, my picayune
Now bold, overwhelming and strong

She is mine.

I watch her touch the hot things
I hold her when she hurts
The tears shed for her are real
They run deep
Salty as the sea and full of love and devotion
I cant make her trust me
Please listen, pay attention, don't walk away
Without saying I love you...

She is definitely mine.

I'm more than halfway
I thought it would feel like forever
Actually seems like no time has passed
She's still so innocent and honest
The world hasn't taken her yet
It's constant pull hasn't defeated me
Please stay small
Please tell me you wont run
Please don't be me...

You will always be mine.
