You never really hear it coming,
you just walk your long road
till one long night
you hear it...
a thump...
one simple thump.
It's not just one but many
quite at first.
Only because you cant believe you found it.
As you walk your road
the thumps start to become louder.
One day the thumps
resonate with your own..
Your own beating heart.
No longer are you alone,
on your long road but...
paired with your other
heart.
Your true love.

It’s happening again,
someone is reaching up my arm
towards my sleeve.
Running her fingers over all
the scars and battle wounds.
Wondering why I even
keep it there.
I run my fingers though
her soft golden hair,
and whisper,
“Cause I was waiting
for you.”

The question isn't how fast your heart beats or
how many times its skipped.
Its how much pain
and how many heart breaks
will you go through to
find that one
person.
Or,
will you not be strong enough
and give up and stop. Because
all the pain is to much so you sit back and
let time rebuild you
for that unexpected moment
that you will never forget.

I'm walking this line
that divides two worlds.
At times the line is so thin
I can't tell them apart.
At times I wish the line
would vanish, and be in
both worlds at the same time.
But it doesn't, so I'll keep
walking this line
until something pulls
me to one side.
