I am trying to learn how to love you again
Although I know it to be true in my heart
I can not put my deep emotions into play
As an actress on the stage

Help me to love you tenderly
Guide me as to how I should hold your heart
In my palm? At the tip of my fingers?
Do I caress it with sweet lips and a silent kiss?

Show me how to love you
Without haste
With a shuddering embrace
I am in your sweet maze

Of solitude
It was once
Yet now I am here
And I feel home

Like a place I have searched for all eternity
I have found my sweet sanity
The place I have longed for
My Haven, my home in your heart...

But, dear, show me how to love you
I want to take your fears away
Show me how I should....
Take me to your maze

As I get lost
In your love
And learn how to give you
My embrace .
