Love Poem: Stepping Stone

Stepping Stone

I don't want you to be my stepping stone or to carry me
I want you to be the one to love me when I'm barely me
Even though now isn't the right time  I hope one day you'll be the girl to marry me
I just need you to love me, I don't need you to be my stepping stone or to carry me 

I've never been the best with emotions and love, but for you I want to try 
We've both got a broken wing each , but if we attach our two good wings we can fly
Support each other and hold each other up
Make you so happy that I'll make you forget you ever had another love

I'm a grown man I don't need to be nurtured 
But we need to be honest with each other to take it further 
So tell me your thoughts because your own mind can be the scariest place 
Give me your support when I need it, but I'll always carry my weight 

I'm far from perfect but my heart's in the right place
When I can't express how I feel I'll go to my writing place
I won't hide my feelings, be real with me and I'll always express to you
The only way for it to be good to us is if I give my best to you 

We're in this together so neither of us should feel alone 
If you ever have something to say then please let it be known
This feels right so I want everything to go right with us
I want you to be my happy ending and much more than a lesson or stepping stone
