If you could see things through my eyes,
Even if only for one day
Then you would forever realize
How it is that I feel this way

You hit like a force of nature
I was unmade at just one glance
You opened up my long closed heart
And made me want to take a chance

Seeing that spark that’s within you
Is like seeing sunlight’s first shine
And when I see you smile at me
The entire world to me seems fine

You’re my meaning of beautiful
You’re my reason for holding on
You bring the peace into my heart
When I feel everything is gone

How could you ever feel alone
When you are with me everywhere
I catch my breath thinking of you
I close my eyes and see you there

So ask me once more what I see
And I promise to tell no lies
Let your hand feel my beating heart
And see the love within my eyes

You are where love began for me
It’s been only you from the start
I’ll carry that love to the end
Forever safe within my heart

Against the wind with fists of rage
He stands in youth despite his age
He’s walked the ice and witnessed the floe
Refusing to worry of his time to go
Defiance resides in his eyes
Like storm clouds dotting morning skies
He will not bow he, will not bend
He takes his time to meet the end
He fears nothing on his own
Intimacy though chills his bone
Alone he stands against the wind
No bad choices may he rescind
Perhaps one day he’ll find his faith
Until the end he stands the wraith

— The End —
