Analysis of Him
Sarah Lateesha Hamilton 1980 (USA)
I wish I had the nerves to tell HIM how I really feel
Is it wrong?
that I feel so strong
about a man who warned me from the start
all I want to do is make him happy but I'm hesitant at times because I'm scared he'll break my heart
I wake up thinking about him
and wish that every moment spent together would last forever
I want him to feel comfortable telling me when he's upset with life
and I want HIM to know.... that... I love him...I respect him
and I want to be his partner, his best friend, and someday his wife
I want him to be able to confide in me
and speak and express what's on his mind with me
I want to see him smile...and I want to see him cry
I want to see the "True Side" of him...please don't ask why
I get so wrapped up in my emotions and I shouldn't let them show
but this man is special and
I just feel that the world needs to know
I want to tackle everyday life situations with him
one on one
and I want our families combined together
and for him to know, he will always be 2nd to none
