At night, bathed in dark,
Hovering upon the edge of sleep
I see the smile in your eyes,
Your heart in your throat,
Such an intensity - I can't breathe.
When at last I take a breath,
I want you to be my air.
I want your hands to hold mine.
You show me the way.
I've fought so hard for my independence,
But with you in my heart, I'm ready for a new day.
You stand so close, arms touching.
Your eyes catch mine,
I lose my spine,
And I can no longer find
Those words I wanted to say.
So I go on.
Completely unnoticed and alone.
Maybe next time, I tell myself.
Maybe next tine,
That soft look in your eyes
Will quicken my heart once again.
Maybe next time, I'll speak my mind.
No secrets here in our own private oblivion.
But what happens tomorrow?
When I look back
And discover my errors -
Things left unsaid,
Thingss that shouldn't have been said...
But what can I do?
It's in the past.
Now I'm loving for today.
Living for tomorrow.
From this point on, my heart holds no sorrow.
