You read words from afar
   and think about love
Love that you never knew
   except in your dreams

Or maybe for a fleeting moment
   the moment you once believed in love

But now you must believe in life
   our life together
Because life has become love
   or is it just romance?

We are taught to love one another
   and to control our emotions
But what emotion is greater than blinding love?
I can tell you about it
But what would I say if we met?
Would my pride allow me to speak plainly to you?
Would I be able to tell you that you had the power
   to make me fall in love?

Words written in the dead of night are not afraid
   as words spoken to you in the daylight hour

Walls of apprehension are built so high
   so pain cannot be felt
   or seen

But when our eyes meet
So too shall our lives
And that is what you must believe my darling

In life
