You love me,love me not

When you say you love me
My heart becomes full
And I know that you'll be there
To catch my tears
The purity of my love falls as rain
And I have to question if you love me
So yet I'll ask again, 'Do you love me? '

You sigh and breathe my name
Can you hear my heart
As it calls for you?
Can you hear the steady beating
That will pause for a brief moment
As I accept you do?
You truly love me...

When you say you love me
I will hold the words
In my memory forever
Locked away with that lost beat
And I will be yours forever.
