You say you’re happy in the state you are
You say you don’t want things to change
I think it’s bad to always look before you leap
Life is going to rearrange
Your hesitation will just slow you down
Take a chance and try to love again
If you lose your reservations then you might find out
There’s a better happiness you’re not yet in

My arms are waiting here to catch you when you fall
My love will hold you high up in the sky
My strength is yours to use no matter what befalls
Open up your wings and start to fly

Have you never been alone in the dark of night
Wondering why things are the way they are?
Have you never looked up past the cold, black sky
And made a wish for love on every star?
Maybe I’m not quite the man you thought would come
But maybe I’m the answer to your prayers
Will we ever know if you don’t open up your heart
And let me show you just how much I care?

My arms are waiting here to catch you when you fall
My love will hold you high up in the sky
My strength is yours to use no matter what befalls
Open up your wings and start to fly

This kinda sounded like a song to me...it is very pretty.  Like electricx, my favorite lines are the ones she wrote.
Like I said, pretty poem...keep posting Levi!

Ah, well, it actually is somewhat of a song, but I still consider it a poem as well.  I wouldn't say it's improper to post in here.  Thanks for all of the feedback.  I like to write, and if it helps express someone else...I guess that works for me.
