Rain-drenched clothing
A smile upon your face
Our hands are laced together
Lips upon one another
Hands may go where feelings take them
Cotton sheets and sweaty palms
Love is a verb tonight
Nothing could be better tonight
Dancing together by candle-light.
Rain-soaked sidewalks
Our shuffling feet
Arms linked at the elbows
No sounds on the street
You're in my soul
I'm in your dreams

Snowy rivers and forest trees
Starry skies above my eyes
And a handsome fellow by my side.
Icicles are our only witnesses
To the guilt pleasures of a snowy night.

I am leaping from this spot on pure Faith that you will catch me
In just moments, I will find out if Faith is something worth believing in
Time asked me to wait, and I agreed with him.
Now, I'm done waiting and have accomplished nothing.
This is why I leaped in the first place.

Patience whispered that she is a virtue
But I haven't figured out just what she means yet.
I believe I have been patient enough
And yet I fall asleep alone, I wake up alone
And I have never felt this lonely before.

Tomorrow says, he's another day.
A chance to start Things over;
Some Golden Opportunity
But he always comes and goes
Offering all Bad News.

But I will keep Faith and Patience by my side, hoping Time will tell someday
Whether I'll be lonely like this forever
Or if you will come back to me.

The words left unsaid disappear under the shattered dreams of forever. You walk briskly, slicing the icy weather with each advance towards freedom. If you knew what you were running from, you'd reconsider the options. But if it weren't for the silent moments, I might not know your eyes are green and your write with your left hand.

The thought of losing gets me lost in thought. I though once, that forever was worth it. I though that was all I had and now that you've made your point clear. I depart the cold, stubborness of your heart. My hand trembles a little while working the door handle. Just a thought, but maybe so many things should have been said.

Deep down inside, I've heard the unsaid; felt it running through my veins. If only I felt to pursue it, I might have you in closer reach. Something I haven't said since, is sorry. Take it or leave it, but it's been said.

Candle wax and fairy wings,
So I promised to love you.
I've never heard the angles sing
And I've never seen the view.
The midnight-caper stole my heart
And left a hunk of coal
My waterproof world fell apart
All I have left is what's in my soul.
Thank God for rain
And Satan for sand
All that's gone is my pain
With one quick flick of your hand.
No one decides your fate but you
Unless it was decided too soon.
Say what you say, do what you do
Only fools eat lunch at noon.

Controlled by the desire to fit in and be liked
We're designed to go hide, not stand up and fight
Fake money, fake hair, fake smiles, fake lives
Controlled by the pattern of wake up and die.
Dreams and goals get left far behind
When we travel outdoors to try and find
The person we think we were raised to be
When really that person is you and me.
Controlled by the media and flash photography
Told we're useless, worthless and of no need.
Wear this, say that, be here at 3:00
Controlled, and no idea who we really see
When a mirror is set up in front of your face
Your body located in an unfamiliar place
Memories and dreams vanished without a trace
Controlled and left without saving grace.
Fit in, be liked, on your own accord
Life is too short to try and afford
What he says or she says is the norm
Controlled no longer by the human storm.
