Here I Am

Here I am standing before you
Take a good look then turn away
I'll be standing here for a while
But I can't tell what brings another day.

Look into my eyes for a moment
Tell me what it is that you see
Is it something you think you like?
Or would you rather someone other than me?

Here I am with my arms wide open
Embrace them then pull away.
If you like the way they feel
Then tell me you want me to stay.

I can't stay if you don't want me
Time is the essence, you should know
So hold me a while and think about it
If you don't like it then I shall go.

Here I am with my heart before you
You may hold it with both hands
But please be careful for it is fragile
It breaks easily, please understand.

It's been broken many times,
The wounds have finally healed.
My heart's longing for attention.
It pleads for affection that is real.

Here I am standing before you.
Please don't make me leave.
I love the way you make me feel.
I just pray you feel the same with me.

You make me happy when you are here.
I hope you can understand.
So please take me if you want me
Here I am...
