Willingly and Wholly

I know I told my heart I’d take this slow
But yet still, with him, it’s hard to not let the emotions overflow
I keep reminding myself to not to quickly should I let all my feelings, towards him, show
The funny thing is that, how I feel for him, he already knows
And I’m so scared that I may have to again, let him go
I’m sitting here in this room missing him with each and every beat of my heart
Knowing damn good and well he could very well tear it completely apart
I feel so deeply in my soul it’s never too late to try to make another and final start
I don’t know how much longer I can hold back the dam is about to flow wild
He is very much a man but has the heart of a child
So caring and tender, yet strong and stern
Committed and open, but sensitive and gets sometimes easily burned
I’m in love with every single fiber of his being
From inside to out, beauty is skin deep and always well worth seeing
His voice can and does command me
His eyes very much so controls me
He holds me in his arms the essence of him beholds me
When he kisses my lips, and then my body passion always consumes me
So tell me now, how do I keep telling my heart to go at this slowly?
When he’s the one I gave my heart and soul to willingly and wholly…
