If I believe
By: Stephanie Schubert
If I believe will you break me down?
If I believe will you still come around?
I’m holding my breath waiting to see
Is there a future of you and me?
In my heart it’s already real
Allowing myself the chance to feel
I am afraid this you know
But I am taking a risk and letting it go
Don’t hurt me I pray you won’t
Let the beginning linger when the others don’t
No need to rush I will be right here
Letting you respond and alleviate my fear
If I believe will you break me down?
Believe for second you’ll be around
Afraid to believe that is what I have known
Deciding instead to choose being alone
But now that you’re here
All your words I hold so dear
Even though you are out of reach
My defenses you have breeched
So I say if I believe
Could you, would you,
Never leave?
