Heart of Petals

If I tell you I love you, I mean it from the bottom of my shattered heart.
If I tell you I need you, with hands reaching for you, grab them and hold them tight.
If I tell you I want you, tell me you want me too.

If I tell you I love you, it means I always will.
     Even if you say no,
          And hurt me with sad words,
               Rejection.


I will still love you, even through the pain.


So if I tell you
  I love you,
    I need you,
      I want you,
Please don't crush my battered soul.
Because my love is eternal.

So when I tell you I love you, I mean that I need you, I mean that I want you,
To fix my shattered heart.
I let you in because I saw in you a light that could save mine, and make me happy once again.


Don't crush my heart of petals...
Let it have a chance to bloom.
