Healing Makes You Stronger

Broken pieces meld together
To create a stronger heart
For every crack that comes along
The healing begins to start

Before you ask, my heart is intact
And beating very strongly
It is in the hands of the one I love
And he never treats me wrongly

Yes, we have our fights
And yes I shed some tears
But I never have to worry
About my greatest fears

He promised to love me always
And to never leave my side
He said that he would marry me
That he wanted me as his bride

With all of these promises
All of these wonderful dreams
How could I feel any doubt?
About what it all should mean

If only I was not so afraid
Of losing my true love
Maybe he would speak to me
Without me giving a shove

I know I ask too much
And that I am unfair
I know that it is my fault
The burden I must wear

I make him pull away
By pursuing to get closer
I cannot seem to help it
But all I do is smother

When he pulls away
Inside it breaks my heart
But it is okay, I will survive
Because then the healing starts

I will try again to give him space
I love him so much; it is cliche to say
But I cannot help it
I love him more than yesterday.
