Read Time:55 Second

I will put my heart in your hands,
mark my words.
I wont let this thing we share fade away:
never!
I will show you that all men aren’t the same,
just trust me.
I will fill your dying heart with rich brown soil,
I will be that light that chases away your dark moments…
I’ve told you before and i will still tell it again;
I will never let you down, I will hold you up high,
just like the star that you are.

Just like the star you are;
I will hold you up high,
never will i let you down…
I promise.
The tatse of your lip my tongue will always savour.
In your darkest hour;
I will be the only light that’s awake.
With rich brown soil;
I will fill your dying heart.
I will prove to you that all men aren’t the same:
I am the exception,
I won’t let this thing we share just fade away.
Believe me;
I will put my heart in your hands,
will you do the same?
