I don’t ask who else you see <br />Or if you kiss them quite so hard as me <br />I’ve never asked you to stay and I never would <br />Never asked you to love me or even if you could <br /> <br />All I ask is that you don’t tell me at all <br />Never walk out on me or ignore my call <br />We can pretend no one hurts and that we’re both fine <br />Kiss the troubles away; they’ll heal with time <br /> <br />I won’t let you learn the truth no matter what I do <br />That you’re what I’ve searched for, that it’s always been you <br />Don’t know how I got here, I resisted your kiss for so long <br />‘Till now I can’t deny these feelings, written in a song <br /> <br />I’ve got a few more months then I’ll never see you again <br />My mind tells me it will hurt too much, be too much pain <br />I’ve left before and it hurt so much <br />Made me cautious so I resisted your touch <br /> <br />I don’t know why you choose me or even if you care <br />But if I’m honest I’m just really glad you’re there <br />I love your hands on me, and how it feels when I’m with you <br />These days you’re the only one who stops me feeling blue<br /><br />Amy Carmichael<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/the-only-one-7/
