I Love You, Darling

I had seen you in a dream,
Or in the parking lot at the store,
I just knew it,
I have seen you before.

I can't remember where,
And I don't know why,
But you were with me,
And that was fine.

One day you told me,
"I love you, and you should know."
I loved you too,
But I couldn't tell a soul.

I had been cut, wounded, and worn,
A few times too many,
I wanted to trust you,
But I have been hurt by plenty.

Darling, I love you,
And I think you should know,
That I haven't trusted any
Since a long time ago.

So please,
I beg of you,
Give me a chance,
I love you.

But go at my pace,
Give me some time,
I will show you one day,
I will show you this rhyme.
