Analysis of 143

George Johnson 1977 (Baltimore MD)



I'm falling hard for you
Keeping it secretive is so hard to do
I know this is not just lust
Cause when I think of you my heart starts to combust
I truly feel sadness when you are not near
And my heart feels a love that is truly sincere
I know what we have is just starting out
But I know you're the one I want and there is no doubt
I promise to show you everyday
That my feelings for you are not going away
Even if there comes a day
You decide you no longer want to stay
I will hold you forever in my heart
For you are the reason my life is no longer torn all apart
