I
Should I wait to tell you too late (or not at all)
How you are the one who I love
I have thoughts of no other man
Only you should make me happy or sad
But as I debate, time turns her naked eyes
Forcing me to face this vacant life
Where, without you, the memories dully line the walls
In a chamber as empty as it is small
I have no desire to forget this fire
For the passion which keeps me awake each night
Which harkens your face to my mind
Has stirred the true spirit inside
Yet, the fear and doubt do never cease
I cannot banish them by any pleas
Would I rather to let you go,
Then to allow my heart to show?
Rejection is a constant barrier to my designs,
To these facts of love I try to hide
After all, if I am unsure of myself
Why should I put us both through hell
But purity does not guide me from you
For my departure is one of the two evils I choose
No matter if we were really meant to be
Nothing can take me from this path I lead
II
My dear, I can but call you here
Any other sign could tell my mind
Would say how I long to touch
To hold you close, my love
I am jealous due to my dependence
A smile from your eyes makes my soul fly
Out of the recesses I despise
To the light, until now, I have denied
I could gaze at you all day
And never, ever turn away
Soft, gentle as a quiet rain
I only hide from the pain
What truly prevents the wind
From consuming me with sin?
What hides the moon from sight
Except clouds on a starless night
Perhaps, one of the stars was ours.
As I face to the North
You are looking down
To the cold joining me in the ground
For you are dark and sky
As I am earth and fire
A fire so frigid to make the bones rigid
That none but I shall ever miss it
III
Will you come to me if I ask
If I release my mask
Or, would you step gingerly back
As a silent reproach
My mind does not really know
Which direction you should go
So I dare not broach the subject
I dare yet hope and hope
Still, I may not regret
Our first chance encounter
Not everyone lives happily ever after
Like a perfect couple, together
I would have been willing to accept anything
My death I should prefer
Than to not have you here
To not see your face every day
I do not care what the rest the world would say
If you should call my name feeling the same inside
If you would tell me that your love is guarded by pride,
Making you unable to look my way, unable to stay
My thoughts are no clearer than before
Each sunrise reminds me of the time left
Of the months I have you by my side
When you have gone, will I ever see you again?
Should I wait to tell you too late (or not at all)
How you are the one who I love
I have thoughts of no other man
Only you should make me happy or sad
But as I debate, time turns her naked eyes
Forcing me to face this vacant life
Where, without you, the memories dully line the walls
In a chamber as empty as it is small
I have no desire to forget this fire
For the passion which keeps me awake each night
Which harkens your face to my mind
