CONDITION

I used to think I was strong, and now I realize that pretending was a mistake: Every time I see your face, my mind goes blank, and with you by my side, I feel like I can barely breathe; my heart races, and I’m breathless. I close my eyes the moment I surrender to you, in an attempt to make my love blind, innocent, true, and wholesome.

So guide me tonight, but please turn off the light because I get lost every time I look at you.

And in the morning, when you leave, wake me slowly so I know that loving you wasn’t a dream; whisper to me what it means to be with me, and every moment we’re apart will be an eternity of longing.

I close my eyes the moment I surrender to you; I want your love to be blind, innocent, true, and wholesome.

So guide me tonight, but please turn off the light because I get lost every time I look at you, and I want to find myself trapped in your arms…
