Strength, Courage, and Will

To Bre

Scarce and hard to find is the ability to say everything that I feel.
In your presence looking into your eyes I simply reel.
It took a lot for me to let my guard down and let you in.
Telling you just how much I love you from my heart deep within.
What it takes to answer all of your questions as uncomfortable as I get.
Telling you the truth even though it I know that it might make you might fret.
I tell you how much I love you knowing that I risk much of myself.
I put everything out there even though I know you have another on the shelf.
Difficult is finding the words to tell you how scary it is to succumb.
I try to be composed showing no fear while on the inside I at times go numb.
As challenging as I find this I do it because when I am with you I am me.
I struggle to convey just how much it hurts how affected by him you can be.
I have the strength to hide it, to look away, and to pretend that I understand.
I lack the courage to let go of you so that you can decide who is less than.
Scarce and hard to find; is the strength, the courage, and the will to let go.
Fear of not fighting for you and staying the course to see if we grow.
I have the strength to love you, the courage to tell you, and the will to fight for you.
I lack the strength to share you, the courage to let go, and will to be without you.
