If You Ask Me To

I could be by your side tonight

But we had a fight

And now

I will miss my flight

And stay home, alone

We couldn’t forgive

Unable to begin again

We struggle to live

My arms could be wrapped around you tonight

But we remember our worst nights

And not the days full of love and understanding

Your hurt

You’ve been hurt

You’re bleeding

You’ve been bleeding

But in my arms

Is the healing

From your eyes

I finally realize

What an ass I’ve been

I don’t want this to end

You’re my best friend

My soul tie

My favorite person

And I can still make my flight

And be there tonight, if you ask me to

I am sorry for who’ve I’ve been

You let me in

And this time it was me who took you for granted

Let me be a safe space without the chase

Let me love you

teach me how to
