Love

My pulse races at your touch,
holding my breath,
you don't ask for much.
All you want is my love.
I'm afraid to give you my heart.
The past stole it all away.
It should be easy, simple.
If only I could give you what you want,
to put a smile back to your dimple.
But I choke on regret and sorrow,
living in my past,
I smile and hope to still be yours tomorrow.
I don't know what to say,
I don't know how to put this,
So I'll just attempt it...
I love you forever and always.
