Do you know what you mean to me?
Can you tell how you make me feel?
There's no end to my love for you.
Being with you has shown me love is real.

Before you, my heart had no purpose.
Happiness was a figment of my imagination.
My laughter was hollow and without joy.
I wandered aimlessly in the wrong direction.

Then there you were, right beside me.
You smiled and breathed life into my soul.
With your love, you mended my heart.
And now without you, I cannot be whole.

I gaze up towards the evening sky.
A face stares back at me.
My heart pounds out its reply.
For not the visage of the moon, but your face I see.

I listen to the whistling breeze.
A voice calls out my name.
My ears recognize it with ease.
For the voice and the face belongs to one and the same.

I feel the crispness of the air.
A hand brushes against mine.
My skin feels that you’re everywhere.
For my longing for your presence grows with the passage of time.

I offer a story worthy of being told.
Your hand covers my mouth.
The world offers visions of opportunity.
Your hands cover my eyes.
The people who love me offer words of wisdom.
Your hands cover my ears.
I cannot speak.
I cannot see.
I cannot hear.
You cannot love.
I have a mind of my own again.
Your grip weakens.
The world has a place for me again.
Your hold fades.
The arms of the people who love me might open again.
Your hands fall.
Now I can speak.
Now I can see.
Now I can hear.
You cannot love.

Where do I start?
How do I begin?
I’m following my heart,
And I dare anyone to tell me that’s a sin.

For now, my heart I’ll follow…
Although, I want to lead,
Lead a life that’s not so hollow
And have a love that’s guaranteed.

So many times I’ve looked into your eyes,
And knew exactly what I wanted to say.
But to say those words here and now would be unwise.
So I’ll keep it to myself, and hope for a chance to tell you one day.

I know you have walls to build,
And I want to help you ¾ not slow you down.
Because with trust, those walls will be filled.
Now, we’ve got to start over and work our way up from the ground.

Never in my life
Did I think I would be
Capable of this kind of betrayal.
The kind that sets you free.

I never thought that I
Would give my heart away
Based solely on a lie
To try to make you stay.

Never did I imagine
That we ever had a real chance
Of making our dreams happen
Or having a love that lasts.

Perspective is a funny thing,
And I mean funny as in strange.
Sure the stars are beautiful,
But that might some day change.

After all, all stars must die.
But for now, I just can't help but gaze.
How could illumination be so serene?
Sights like this are born to amaze.

And yet one thing is far more striking
Than those ethereal beings in the skies.
One thing you could never see...
It’s their reflection in your eyes.
