Ho Deciso…

I decided
Long ago
To stop asking
Do I deserve you in my life?

I decided
Long ago
To stop asking
Out loud in the night
Will you ever hold my hand?

I decided
Long ago
I’m just going to love you
Because… I simply love who I love

Now I ask the night
To hold you safe
To bring you joy
And, that you sometimes remember I smiled for you

I ask the heavens
To leave love in my heart
Instead of begging
To take it all away

I ask that love never leaves me
So, my heart keeps on beating
When I miss something I never had
Or when I remember, how easily I was erased

I decided
Long ago
That this is how I will love you
