Tell Me, Please.

You've never done a thing wrong.
My footsteps were used to running.
I'm staying put now
for you.
There didn't used to be enough words
for feelings
and so they didn't exist.
You let me feel again.
You let me cry again.
And now I can live.
But I don't want to live without you.
Not ever.
I used to wake up to the dark every day
and wonder where I was going.
Not anymore.
No...you are like a light.
And even though I've always seemed strong
you know that deep inside
there's a girl who's scared of everything.
But I'm not scared of this.
I love you.
I love you more than words can even say.
But I'll let them try to speak to you anyhow.
Just let me know that I didn't mess up so bad
that I'll lose you.
Let me know you still love me
and that we're going to be okay.
Because I'm scared again.
I'm scared of being alone in the dark
and I don't want to cry tonight.
I made this weight that's sitting on my chest.
Forgive it so I can breathe again.
Please...just let me know
that you'll be there to hold me
for a long, long time.
