Strong Enough

I wish I were strong enough to be your man

I wish I could heal the hurt that you hide inside

I wish I could know the fears that haunt you

So you could open your heart

But I know this would take time

But circumstance came, 

And our choices were made,

Even before that things started to fizzle and fade

It just took that night

And the burden of what came before

My inexperienced heart

and what you held inside for so long

So much still left unsaid

So much we have to reveal

but we may have rushed into things

when we may have needed to be apart to heal

I'm sorry for what separated us

But I'll cherish the time we had

My love still burns strongly for you

I hope in time we can regain what our passions began.
