if you'll have me

I'm not good with perfect lines
Or knowing when the moment's right
I overthink, then laugh it off
Afraid to say a little too much
You catch me when I lose my way
With simple words you never say
And every time you look at me
I feel like who I'm meant to be

I don't have all the answers now
But I know what my heart allows

So if you'll have me, I'll stay close
I'll love you quiet, I'll love you slow
No big claims, no borrowed words
Just my heart, just as it goes
I won't promise skies above
Or say I'll never fall apart
I'm standing here, hoping you
Might accept my love

I've been learning how to wait
How to not be scared of fate
To let a feeling breathe and grow
Instead of rushing where it goes
You don't ask me to be brave
You don't need me to be strong
You just sit right by my side
Like that's where I belong

I won't push, I won't pretend
I just want this to begin

So if you'll have me, I'll stay close
I'll love you gentle, I'll love you most
No perfect timing, no disguise
Just open hands and honest eyes
I won't promise I know it all
Or that I won't make mistakes
I'm standing here, hoping you
Might accept my love

Maybe love's not meant to shout
Maybe it's the quiet doubt
That still chooses to believe
In something soft, in you and me

So if you'll have me, here I am
Nothing hidden in my hands
I don't need to be enough
I just need to be sincere
No grand ending, no sure sign
Just two hearts learning time
I'm standing here, hoping you
Might accept my love

Mm, if you'll have me
I'm already yours
