Ours to be

With you my moments are gold,

our future brightly unfolds.
This is the life I treasure,
I burst to bloom within your pleasure.

But when you whisper in my ear,
sometimes it's not you, it's him I hear.
It was gone that long ago,
but now it's crawling back so slow.

It was buried and dead,
'cause I ran as far as I could get.
Now I can barely recall,
and yet I can still feel it all.

If you can forgive me for who I am, 

I know my fight has not been in vain.
Yes, if we both forgive and forget,
he might not find a way back.

If you see me like I am,
and you love me with all that you can,
the flesh and the fantasy
for once might become ours to be...
