~Only My Heart Knows~

Delicate things are the strands of our lives.
Too often some are cruely cut by Fate.
Humans exist to defy all the odds.
Every day is a gift...every breath, a miracle.

What we have is such a thing.
Such a love is one of a kind.
Endless fields, endless faces, and only one of you...

What stranger would touch my face?
What stranger would shed her tears...
For a man who values such simple, rare things?

You are a diamond buried amidst burning sand.
Almost lost in glare...could I ever find you again?
Searching everywhere, I'd gladly walk back in the sands for you.

I suppose I'd understand...I've said time and again...

Distance brings loneliness to our nights.
I sit here watching the dark from the same place.
I can't justify it when I know how you must feel.
All I can offer you is myself, and some far off tomorrow.

My love for you is true.
Perhaps the only delicate thing left to me.
Beautiful and frail, I swear to keep it safe.

I need you in my life.
Your voice, your laugh, your words...
If you feel the same, there's no need to be afraid.

You've given me dreams...and I follow my dreams.
It tears at my heart to leave you for even a moment.
If we fear losing eachother...how foolish we'd be to part.

I suppose I'd understand...I've said time and again...

But I've loved you, for so long...and now, like a flower, the petals are opening.
I'm caring for you even more than before with each word I write.

I don't know if I'm right to hold you, but my heart knows for sure.
