"You're draining the life from me", he said.
Where can I go from that revelation?
They're persistent, the voices in my head.
My feelings are an inconvenient complication.

Why do we insist on giving our hearts away?
Feeling the need to share our life completely.
Not realizing the impact of the things we say.
Why is it so easy for his words to defeat me?

I've realized though, the solution is simple.
At the first sign of careless disregard,
You let it be known your love is a temple.
Be sure it's understood, your heart is scarred.

No longer will you recognize defeat.
If his love is true, he'll realize his error.
If it's not true, he will know he is beat.
And timing will have been in your favor.

Being with the right person is the key.
Do not settle for second or third best.
You will find the right one, it's meant to be.
When you find him, he will past the test.
