Be Still, My Heart

It was never easy, in my opinion, to move forward from a past relationship. Falling in love again, either, is such a struggle (for me anyway).

How many times have I tried,
To keep my heart out of sight?
I've built a wall to guard me up,
But you were so close I had to give up.

Your eyes, I can't quite resist,
Windows to your beautiful soul, yes, it exists.
One more look and my feelings, you will surely capture,
Oh, how pity, a sweet torture I have to endure.

You're always calm, never tense,
Sounds like a true man, never dense.
Always gentle, always kind,
To the negativities, forever blind.

Your captivating smile,
Made me lose myself for a while.
You kept me disarmed,
You have got me with that charm.

Your scent, they've been keeping me,
Far from reality so I count to three.
Then look at you and pretend to be,
The normal girl I used to be.

Be still my heart,
Don't rush, please hush.
He might hear you thump out loud,
I laid my cards on the table to be found.

I keep all my worries at bay,
And to the Lord I utmostly pray,
"Please leave his heart out for me,
For I will surely take care of thee."
