I know that I love too easy
But I can’t help but love this freely
Please don’t punish me
For my open feelings
I don’t want my love to be like a castle
I was never much one for doors and walls
I want my love to be as a field
Open and free and unrestrained
And I know that means people
Will walk all over me
But that’s a price I'm willing to pay
After all, what is the cost of a love
Freely given, overflowing, boundless?
Know I’m not a fool; that the lack of rules
For my heart will get me bruised
From the start; I am not naive
I’m just honest
I don’t want to spend my life
Wasted with my heart in a closet
Because I was too scared of being
Hurt
I’m ready for this
I’ve been ready for this
