Hold My Heart Carefully
Hold my heart carefully
Or not at all –
A message received
Loud and clear
It describes the fragile nature of a relationship
How one can take things for granted
Without even realizing it
And push it away in the blink of an eye
But more than that
It defines the responsibility that comes with commitment
The balance and respect
That you show your special one
Friends and lovers can challenge the norm
And friends with benefits take it further
But the real one, the one that gets it done
Gives you more
And that more is captured in their heart
A heart that can be fragile
Like a web spun in the morning sun
Beautiful and intricate
Expansive and unique
But also just a breeze away
From destruction
Hold my heart carefully
Or not at all -
Respect the offer
The rewards can fill a lifetime
