Stand By You
you told me
you loved me
one night
long ago
I didn't know
if I should
believe you
laugh
or cry
you trusted me
with your hopes
dreams
and darkest secrets
and I
did not know what to say
you turned to me
telling me
of your love
and you say
I saved your life
I told you
that I
would stand by you
forever
what you didn't know
I was afraid
not of you
but of myself
I didn't think
I could help
only hurt
I wanted to
run
away from you
away from this
instead
I ignored my fears
and pulled you closer
today
even while wondering
will I let you down
will I hurt you
by holding you
too close
even while afraid
of what we
may become
I will
stand by you
