Cold as the north winds blowing, Cold as the cry that rings loud, Cold as a December morning, Cold from deep within this shroud.
I�m stranded on a distant land Winds chill me to the bone, The answer it seems is close at hand To find my long lost home.
Winter has come slowly in, So close I cannot see How I can chase away these fears That swell deep within me.
Have I failed to see the signs To help me brace the day? How will I know the time has come To journey on my way?
My light shall be the moon, My warmth a heart in flame, My path shall be the stars, My true love calls my name.

Listen
Listen, as the sun rises above the horizon. Can you hear the music? A song our voices once shared?
What colors do your eyes perceive in the clouds? What color reminds you of me?
Watch the birds playing in the wind. Dancing so free without fear. Can you remember that freedom, our hearts once felt as we danced?
Bathing in the heat of the sun, so high in the sky, so bright. Can you feel the heat we once felt at night while hidden undercover? Do you dare remember the feeling?
Have you ever felt that same tingle, as you once did as our lips touched? Have you ever felt that same, sweet lust, as you once did as our bodies melted together?
Our minds where like one. A thought so easily shared without words. Like the instinct of a newborn foal?
Where are you now, my long lost love? What happened to that connection we once shared?
I want to feel you again, Your mind, your body, your soul.
Listen as the sun sets behind the mountains. Can you here the sorrow? Am I alone in this feeling?
Fare well, my dark knight of my past. I have not forgotten you.

Have you ever noticed that the worst way to miss someone is when he's right there beside you and yet you can never have him?
Or when the moment you can't feel them under your fingertips you miss them?
Have you ever wondered which hurts the most: saying something and wishing you had not, or saying nothing and wishing you had?
I guess the most important things are the hardest things to say.
They are the things we get ashamed of because words diminish them. The words shrink things that seemed timeless when they were in our heads and shrink them to no more than living size when they are brought out.
Why be afraid to tell someone that we love them?
If you do, they might break your heart, but if you don't, you might break theirs.
Have you ever decided not to become a couple because you were so afraid of losing what you already had with that person?
Your heart decides whom it likes and whom it doesn't. You can't tell your heart what to do. It does it on its own, when you least expect it, or even when you don't want it to.
Have you ever wanted to love someone with everything you had, but that other person was too afraid to let you?
Too many of us stay walled because we are too afraid to care too much, for fear that the other person does not care as much, or not at all.
Have you ever loved someone and they had absolutely no idea whatsoever?
Have you ever fell for your best friend in the whole entire world, and then sat around and watched him fall for someone else?
Have you ever denied your feelings for someone because your fear of rejection was too hard to handle?
We tell lies when we are afraid; afraid of what we don't know; afraid of what others will think; afraid of what will be found out about us.
But every time we tell a lie the thing we fear grows stronger. Life is all about risks and it requires you to jump.
Why be a person who has to look back and wonder what they would have, or could have had?
Love is the leap that won't be denied.
No one waits forever...
