Knowing You

If ever I was close to knowing you
And if I never get close to
It must be I never was meant to know you

If I'm close now to knowing you
But fate at the end of the day exclaims no!
I hope the little light inside of me
Will see me through
Because I don't want to see an end
That leaves me without knowing you

If I were to know you from this moment
I want to go as deep as I possibly can
If it's physical, take me deep into the heart
And if ever it's emotional,
Oh yes I so value emotion,
I desire to dive in deep into your soul
'Cause essentially
A clear and willing soul
Are all the light I need

If I knew you a breath ago
And you can't seem to understand me,
A second later, I've lived
Just know life can't last only a second
But if we last for at least a day
And tomorrow you still see me, changed or the same
I'll always desire to see such tomorrows of hope
And this, now, is the life I want
Then life can last a lifetime

If I was just as close to know you
As I am to never know you
Take this to your heart
'Cause I want to remain in your heart
Tell me I'm welcome to stay
'Cause I want to stay
Knowing you
