My words are true when i say i love you

I cannot seem to let go of all I hold inside,
These things I always try so hard to hide,
I only ever wanted someone to understand,
Then you came and offered me your hand,
At first I didnt understand why you did,
Now I know its because you saw all I hid,
All the pain and torment I locked away,
Never letting them out or being able to say,
Punishing myself in ways I cannot explain,
Sitting alone in my head trying to stay sane,
The thoughts in my head are soul corroding,
And without you Im crying and screaming,
Now I have had you I cannot go on alone,
On my own my heart feels cold as stone,
Its only with your love I become alive,
And its you I need to breathe and survive,
I used to be so strong a long time ago,
Then the world made me fall down so low,
But with you I regain some of what I lost,
Unfreezing my soul melting away the frost,
Being by myself here now I feel so fragile,
It’s for you that I still even attempt to smile,
Because I know it hurts you to see me upset,
Just know and remember this never forget,
That the way I feel for you will never change,
My love for yours being the perfect exchange,
I know you have always been there for me,
And in return there I will forever and always be,
Right beside you holding onto your hand,
Being there for you and making a stand,
I will hold you when you fall down and feel weak,
In my arms you will find the love that you seek,
So know that I speak words that are true,
When I say to you that I love you.
