I wanted to watch you
My eyes were shy
I wanted to kiss you
My lips were dry

I wanted to hold you
My arms were weak
I wanted to tell you
I could not speak

I wanted to  love you
Just never found the voice
I wanted to be with you
Just never made that choice

Some of us, in our youth, admired another from afar. Overwhelmed by our emotions we froze and were unable to take any action at all. Forsaking for ever the never knowing of rejection or acceptance.

Dark like a shadow
Cold like ice
Lost like a bird
On a winter's night

Nightfall will take you
Wrap you in her arms
With darkness protect you
Keep you from harm

Secrets kept safe
Stars behind a cloud
True self hidden
Jewels behind a shroud

This mystery you're hiding
Hidden since youth
The sun is still shining
On lies and the truth

In sunshine
A shadow
Through brightness
Such darkness
Though joy
This Sadness
From closeness
To distance
A bond
Now broken
A trust
Destroyed
So years
Once forged
Like leaves
Now crumbled
Tides turning
Rivers divided
Two paths
Parting
Forever
Decided

Fly
Fly
I need to be free
Try
I have no more to give
Cry
I cannot lose any more

See
There is no more in me
We
There is nothing to be found
Sea
The tide is turning now

Why
I need to be found
My
This is not my home
Die
I need to be reborn

One day soon
I'll be riding on the wind
One day soon
I'll be rising on the tide

Running over hills
With grass beneath my feet
The trees they call my name
And I know its one day soon

I'm walking by the sea
Water soft against my skin
Wave's they roar like thunder
And I know its one day soon

Resting in the valley
Rocks high upon my sides
Breathing echoes to the distance
And I know its one day soon

Searching through the darkness
For a star in a midnight sky
For star's all hold a message
And I know its one day soon

I'm looking to the heavens
I'm waiting for the voice
The one that calls my name
And says its one day soon

Closed guarded secrets
Guard them with you heart
Guard them for eternity
For if I find out
What I find out
Sssssh
The cruel lies you've kept from me

Parting has come
It was destined to be
I can blame no-one
No-one but me
There are some people
Who are owed debt
They think this has passed
I'll make them regret
Time will soon come
Time to collect
Biding my time
From mercy refrain
All of my life
To pass on this pain
