With Grace

I once read of a love That I could really get behind One that didn't change my history One that didn't waste my time But then I closed the storybook Sat it back up on the shelf Forgot I had ever read it I should just be by myself Drifted off into a dream Woke up oh so peacefully To your breath against my skin With every word, you're healing me I raised my middle finger up With my pointer right beside it Then I held 'em to my neck To make sure I was alright and Then I walked to where you stood Wrapped my arms around your waist And then I turned you around With both hands I grabbed your face And I stared into your eyes How they look at me with grace Something I've always desired Something I will always chase Love, my love Show me how to love you better than I do And know I'm gonna love you whether You want me to Oh I'm gonna love you whether You want me to or not I know one day my mom will love you It just might take a while Once she gets over your tattoos How can she not love your smile For now I will hold you quietly Keep the promises we made And as the nights become the mornings I will pray we never fade I don't wanna love you flawlessly I know I just never could If there is one thing you could promise me Tell me what it is you would My love Show me how to love you better than I do And know I'm gonna love you whether You want me to Oh I'm gonna love you whether You want me to or not
