Heart Beats Fast Poem by Jeremy Willson

It seems like space can be so vast
And I know my heart beats fast
When that space between us gets so small
You should understand I'm not scared of when I fall
Cause I know you'll be there to lift me up
I'm just an anxious boy without any luck
So I'm afraid I'll lose you too
When you're happy, I'm paranoid of what you'll do
When things are not so good
Would you leave me when I'm only misunderstood?
You're so pretty and so kind
You are all that's on my mind
I want to be that man you see in your dreams at night
I swear that when it gets dark I'll be your light
When the shadows surround us and you lose faith
I'll pull your weight
I shall be the one to still have hope
When you're at the end of your rope
I'll pull you up with all my strength
I am not keeping you at arm's length
I'm just nervous, I thought I knew what love was
I thought I knew, but I don't because
When I look at your blue eyes
I drown inside an ocean of emotion that defies
All that I have ever known
All that I believed about how love is shown
And it's both beautiful and terrifying
If I said it wasn't I'd be lying
But that doesn't mean that I won't give you my all
Like I said I don't care if I fall
As long as you say that you are with me no matter what
Everything will be okay if you stay, you're all that I've got
All I need is your love and care
My quick beating heart with you I'll forever share
