I won’t say I’m okay

I won’t say I’m okay.
I won’t say I’m fine.
I’ll tell you the truth, even if it hurts.
I promise I won’t lie.
If my heart doesn’t heal tonight,
Please lie by my side.
The mere thought of letting go hurts.
I told you I wouldn’t lie.
Nostalgia comes and goes.
When I realized I wouldn’t be able to have you any longer,
I pray my heart doesn’t creep through the door,
And follow you home
You are the only home it knows.
Away from home,
Spend tonight with me
But leave before dawn.
That way, I won’t have to bid you goodbye.
And my heart won’t reach for you like my arms.

Thou wilt shew me the path of life: in thy presence is fulness of joy; at thy right hand there are pleasures for evermore.
Psalm:16:11

Have a fantastic day ❤

Don’t be a pessimist be an optimist

Coming Back

I
Can’t
Let go.
If
You
Keep coming
Back.
