Hold me back in your arms

I've walked down this path a few times before. Somehow I never quite made it to the end. Now I think I know why.

Because you were always there. No matter what, you always watched me, looked after me, cheered me up when I was down. You always tried, for me, and I did the same for you. Even when the letters got torn up, and we screamed each others throats out, we were still there. Neither one of us could let go, even though we both wanted to. We both knew it could never be, but maybe somewhere we believed that love turns back time.

Now it's over. I know it more than I ever have before. I tried too hard to make things work, because I knew I could make you happy. You never really left me, I can't say why but I think it was because you cared for me, after everything that happened. We held up the bridge for too long, because neither of us could see the truth.

I've held you back for so long. Love may be blind, but it also makes you blind. I couldn't see the hurt I was causing, because everything that happened made me happy. I was so rolled up in my own world, I couldn't see what I was doing. Holding you back.

Now, after being dragged off it once again, I'm back on the path. I don't know where it takes me, but if I make it to the end, I've got a feeling I'll end up happy. But none of this can happen unless I do it on my own. I just hope there's someone to hold my hand after that final step.

I know you won't have to work to be happy, because it's long overdue for you. All you've got to do is look, and you'll find it, in the most unexpected places. I think you already have.

xxo

p.s. Hand on heart, I didn't scratch your car.
