Lost Tries

Can love be the word that she is so scared to get close to?
Can it be because every love has left you?
Denied you, pained you, betrayed you?
I love you.

He looked and said "take my hands.
Never let go, I'll carry you though the lands."
She stared at him and said "I understand."
She begged him, "please never let go of my hand."

She couldn't stop it before it came out,
"I love you" she looked around with doubt.
Sat in silence hoping he'd go on without,
But he looked down and said "I love you."

She cried and cried. this is when it always started.
Her eyes darted
Fingers parted
She was about to let go and he began to cry, fainthearted.

She raised her eyes to what she thought would be lies.
"How can I love you mean so little" He cries.
Her eyes widened, she gripped his hand and realized his eyes.
They looked like hers when she said that sentence full of lost tries.

She started again, this time forcing him to look.
"I love you. I will not deny you or betray you.
I may hurt you, but I have decided that is part of I love you.
I will never let go and I will hold you tight for I love you."

The prince charming she thought she'd never find.
He thought girls didn't exist who were refined.
They both just had to look where their hearts already were assigned.
They remained intertwined, for life their hearts shined♥
