I love the way the sun wrapped around you
like a dress woven from strands of light
I love the way you stayed close to me
as we held hands walking the empty streets at night.
I love the way your eyes glimmered with hope
like a diamond pulled from the earth and polished for the first time or
the way your smile could break through the eyes of the blind
I loved your innocence.
Untainted by time and unbound by fate.
I loved you curiosity.
And how you were cautious enough to know what's at stake.
The only problem was I was too used to heartbreak
I became best friends with disappointment and I lost my belief in fate.
So familiar with bad timing -- I was always at the wrong place.
Until I realised that I couldn't go on with seeing you as just a friend.
I got so used to telling lies that even I started to believe them.
So now I'm gonna put my heart on the line and speak from my soul to let you know that your touch ...
is really the only thing I can feel anymore.
The glisten in your eye is the only thing I can see anymore.
I wanna bring you close and to whisper in your ear LIKE LOVERS DO.
Be soft spoken words, weighed down heavy with truth.
Because honestly ...
All I want is to hold you as the sun goes down and not left go until it comes back up.
I wanna be that warm connection that you crave whenever you feel a certain touch.
I wanna be that rush of adrenaline that envelopes you whenever you get close enough
to that climactic peak of a moment you've never felt before.
That heavenly moment where you can't take it anymore.
Then I wanna be the
arms that you fall into as you slip into a peaceful sleep.
Relieved of all that tension.
Let your guard down, I'll be your wall of protection.
I wanna be the ship to steer you in the right direction and
if ever you should
hit an iceberg and feel like you're about to drown
I'll be the cocoon of oxygen that surrounds you.
Breathe me into your dreams, I wanna be the seams
that bind all of your emotions together.
I wanna be your fantasy, your idea of forever.
I wanna be the roof over your head to shelter you from the rough weather.
I wanna be the guy to sweep you off your feet
I wanna be the pair of eyes that you suddenly meet in a crowded place
I wanna be the face of everything you've ever thought you didn't deserve.
The voice of everything that said "you couldn't achieve".
Because the truth is
you can become anything you dare to believe.
But most importantly
I want you to know
that even though this love of ours might not have lasted
I would still walk with you to the end of the world.
and then past it.
