Open the Doors

I see and I get that we seem to fight;
Despite that you and me, we are just right;
I know, because I know the real you;
I know, because you know the real me;
And with you I feel weightless and so free;
I'm a bird who's not ready to be caged;

I wish, desire and want to be yours;
And I am not ready to close those doors;
I want the time to take your breath;
I wish to take you high away from this;
Like you used to every time we kiss;
Because this world is too painful to travel alone;

Author's Note

My girlfriend recently broke up with me to save the friendship we had for 20 years before we got together. This is what I'm planning to read to her as a speech when I give her flowers and chocolates.
