Analysis of Do I have your heart



I will kiss away your cigeratte burns,
I will hug away your suicide attempts,
I will love away your pain and hurt.

In these days of sorrow,
There is happiness.
In these days of bleakness,
There is light.
In these days of hopelessness
There is hope.

You came along when I thought love was gone,
For me.
You lite a fire,
I seldom felt.
You were there.

I hope I came to you,
When you needed love the most.
I believe your cries were heard,
And I was meant to find you.
Love is here for you.

So,do I have your heart?
