so this is what it feels like

i have been too afraid to say it. too afraid even to think it.

but today, driving home, thinking of how these lyrics speak of you and all that you are and how incredibly lucky i am to have you in my life - i know.

i know i am fine. i am fine. i am healthy.

the realization came from somewhere. perhaps inside me, perhaps not. but suddenly the words were there filling the space of my small car and begging to be spoken.

i am healthy. after all of this, i am fine.


Would you dance if I asked you to dance?
Would you run and never look back?
Would you cry if you saw me crying?
And would you save my soul, tonight?

Would you tremble if I touched your lips?
Would you laugh?
Oh please tell me this.
Now would you die for the one you love?
Hold me in your arms, tonight.

I can be your hero, baby.
I can kiss away the pain.
I will stand by you forever.
You can take my breath away.
