How to love you

And I want to love you
This is hard and different
Makes it hard to hold back

May I ask?
How much love can you bare
Before you label it ‘obsession’
How much vulnerability is desperation
How much honestly is being 'too honest'
What's the line between
giving you my all and scaring you off

Should I keep the pain inside
I know I'm over reacting
Like I'm not expecting
Should I live
And leave our child to weep
Keep you in the dark
Of your seed that now kicks
And has a heart beat
Putting my sense of reasoning to sleep

Should I ask for what I cannot keep
Reach for joy beyond my height
Live a life I cannot afford
Hold a loved one I'll lose
Write songs I cannot sing

Should I ask of you what I cannot

Or should I learn to let go of dreams
To people who don't have to dream
The sky can't be the limit
If it's your foot stool
Should I accept reality
And like a mole
Let the ground be my limit
