love

a single touch and a word of prayer
so much to feel, so many layers
and slowly i unpeel
raw, exposed, vulnerable, i feel

yet i know im safe, in your warmth i glow
with your hand in my hand, i have the world to show
and yet you walk a step to quick, or do i walk slow?
to the fate of our love, i have to bow...

and i smile a little smile, i sing for you too
i hold your hand in mine, and love you, i do
then i let go, with my heart willing you to come back
without you i have the body, the soul i lack...

and with you by my side, i hold my head high
after all you gave me the wings; but now, i have to fly...
and i look back for a last look
and think of what your heart took....

but you gaze at her, with a love so sweet
with my goal set, though the tears, i finally breathe...
and i fly with the others, with memories of the past
knowing that one day in your love i will bask....
