Real


You give me

This solid ground

This middle

This belief

I'm real

I'm alive

Wide awake

For the first time

I'm really alive

Only you

Only you make me feel

Like what we have

Is real

True

And bright

And it's only you

 

I'm searching

For the red flags

The stop sign

I'm a breath away

From waving my white flag

Surrending 

To you

And your love

Whatever it is

It's addictive

And you're giving me

That feeling again

The feeling

That I can do

And be

Anything

And that you see 

The real me

And you love everyting

About it

This is is

This is real

 

You show 

No fear

You don't let go

You just hold on

Nice and tight

You keep me close

You don't see

An ending

With me

You see

Something alive

Something real

Something pulsing with heat

Want and need

I've never known

Something I've grown

To need

So desperately

Whatever it is

You give me

That feeling

This is alive

This is it

This is real
