Wait, Hold Up

Wait, hold up
I need you to slow down
I'm not there yet
Am I ready for this

Balloons, cards, flowers
Happiness flowing in abundance from you
Minus the physical, mental, emotional abuse you put me through before 
Am I ready for this

Hugs, kisses, and all smiles
It's okay to be treated right
To love to hold to caress
Am I ready for this

To walk with love, talk with love
I met you before
Yes, I seen you before
When you cursed at me, hit me, 
broke me down, and made me cry
Why should I give you a chance now

Okay okay
I'll let you flirt with me
Show me your ready for what I have to offer
Your gifts then my gifts
Your happiness, my happiness
Am I ready for this

Trying to be one step behind
Watching from afar
Need to ensure you won't turn a corner
You pull me forward to grab my
hand
Am I ready for this

Now I walk with love
I talk with love
I smile, I hug, I kiss
I hold, I caress, I miss
I'm ready for this
