You : CE

I can't help
The way I feel
About you.
I had a thing for you
Since the first time
That we met.

At first,
I shied away
Afraid to be taken
Advantage of because
I was heavily drawn to you.
I've felt many things
In my life,
Yet this was something
Entirely new and nerve wracking.

I can't help
But to fall for you
Each time I see you,
Each time we meet,
Each time we text,
Each time we talk..

Despite my troubled past,
You're a risk I'm willing to take
Which is quite odd for I prefer
To play it safe.
I've never pursued anyone
Before.. I was never adamant
About beginning relationships
But strangely
For you, I'd be absolutely anything
If it means having you around.

All I ask
Is that you stay
And give me a chance
To be enough
For you..

You're the only one
That I want
And I refuse
To be denied
A fair chance.
