HOLD ME !

Hold me tenderly

for I am weak.

helpless like a paralyzed soul

knows not how to express

my love for you.

Your reassuring embrace

your innocent eyes

have always inspired me

so once again

please hold me

for the world is too indifferent.

I know you do not

belong to this world

accept me with my follies

hold me gently

for the world is too vast.

I always belonged to you and

till the world lasts

I promise to be beside you

so please once again

hold me and hold me tight

for I am so vulnerable.
