This Can't Be Love

I never knew what lust was 'til I found you
And trustin' you is somethin' that's very hard to do
Letting you kiss me is undeniable
How I feel when you hold me is indescribable
I keep tellin' myself that I can live without
But when I'm all alone, you're all I think about
How can I deny a feeling so strong?
This is not acceptable; this is all wrong...
But then why, oh why, does this feel so right?
I gotta sneak out, gotta see you tonight
Can barely stand it; you make me feel so good
I will lose my innocence far sooner than I should
I try to stop, try and try to walk away
But before I get far, my need makes me stay
I know you're trouble, I should run while I can
But everywhere I turn, I look, there you will stand
How do I describe it, what can I say?
I can't leave you, so here I will lay...
How can this be... Such a huge mistake
Lost in anxiety; my future is at stake
I know how it happened, but why, why me?
So many questions... Will 'it' be a 'she'?
I'm so scared; emotions all demand
How will I tell him, will he understand?
Will he leave me to deal with this all alone?
Or is it possible that he'll be my love, my home?
Somebody help me, I'm not ready for this
I am just a kid; my youth I will miss
How will I support a child in this world today?
I need a shoulder to cry on, need somewhere to stay
So afraid to tell him, but the father needs to know
And if he doesn't accept me, where can I go?
The day has come to tell him, time to face the truth
Hope he'll be comforting; hold me and soothe
So I pick up the phone, my stomach all in knots
Once I hear his voice, I have second thoughts
But I ask to come over, he answers with a 'sure'
And half an hour later, I'm standing at his door
His eyes, so expressive, ask without a single sound
And before I know what's happening, I am breaking down
He takes me in his arms, asking whatever could be wrong
But the look in my eyes confirms his suspicions all along
He whispers my name, tells me it will be alright
He tells me, "I love you.", and my throat grows very tight
'This can't be love,' my mind wants me to say
But my heart thinks different; it knows we'll find a way.
Days and months later, in a hospital bed
Everything is okay, just as he said
They finally let him in, gave him a bundle; it's alive
He uncovers a sleeping angel, and tears come to his eyes
Looking up at me, he whispers, "I promise you,
That I'll love and protect you if it's the last thng I do."
I smile at our little boy, staring up at his dad
And I know I'm so lucky for everything I've had
Because I thought 'It can't be love'; no, not him and me
Lying here in peace, my soulmate is who I see.

So exceptionally beautiful. It brought tears to my eyes. You have a way with words and descritions that are unimaginable to me. In time I can only hope to write something remotely close to this one.
Great piece.
With Love,
