Why are you so cold?

Why have you adopted a sad mode?

I am only trying to help you,

but sometimes you don’t see

what it is I am trying to do.

You seem to get upset

when I ask you how you are,

I know that I ask you a lot,

and it seems I go too far.

It is because I am concerned.

I know you inside out,

and when you hurt - I hurt.

When you love someone

it comes with the territory,

end of story.

There have been times

I have wanted to run,

and say that I am done.

The fear of the future

had my legs set in motion,

but my love for you

did away with that notion.

It is hard to keep my spirits up,

because you feel bad more than good.

I would take some of the burden from you

if I could, you know I would,

just to see you feel good.

From one day to the next,

I don’t know what to expect.

I can’t help but to wonder

if I might become a young widow.

I know I exaggerate things a bit,

but a lot comes from fearing it.

I do tend to borrow

future sorrow.

At times I walk around

with my heart breaking inside my chest,

and because of this I cannot rest.

My thoughts torment me,

as to what if?

I know that I cannot continue this behavior.

I need to rely more on my Savior,

knowing that he is in control

and is with me

regardless of where I may be.

I sometimes forget

that he has set me free -

free from the bondage of worry.

I still tend to carry the chains around with me,

failing to open my eyes and see.

You must know, that you have been my dream

for all of my life,

and I knew that I would someday become your wife.

I didn’t stop until

I had won your heart.

I knew you would be mine from the very start.

I want you to accept the fact

that we are in this thing together,

no matter what the endeavor.

Not only are we soul mates,

but we are help mates as well,

following life’s love trail.
