Matthew M.

By: Tonese Rene Reed

Matthew, what did you do to my heart?
I try to back away but you won't let me.
Why hold onto something you can't see?
I know the answer; you're in love with me.

When you kiss me, time stands still.
When you hold me, I start to feel,
Like nothing else matters but love.
This is what I've been dreaming of.

Don't leave me, promise you will stay.
You say you won't hurt me, but you will one day.
It will be by accident and I'll still love you.
(Not because I'm obligated to.)

A lifetime with you, I could ask for nothing more
I want to stay with you... this time I'm sure.
