Tears Between The Lines

Tears Between The Lines

 

All I wanted was to hold your hand

once more. To kiss you the soft

passionate way only love can

 

You are a queen and of all the titles

I have worn, nothing made me tremble

with delight as much as I wanting to be

your man

 

There is truth in your soul

 

I can still hear your laughter ringing

in my ears. The way it filled my heart

with love for you.

 

I am blessed to love you

 

I keep telling my heart that it has to

walk the other way, but it is fighting

hard, this might be too hard to do

 

I knew angels walked amongst us

 

I think about the way I gave you all

of me. I gave you my fear and my pain,

and you held me safely in your arms.

 

you are my solitude

 

How can I tell my heart that heaven

slipped through my fingers again? How

can I survive this hurt? Is this permanent

harm?

 

I love you so much more

 

I am crying now; I don’t know if I can

finish these words; I am suddenly so

alone once again

 

I can’t get any air in my lungs

 

I am sitting here trying to understand

why things must be this way, but

that does not stop the pain

 

all of me is hurting

 

I can see your smile, a smile I have

not seen for a lifetime. It is still a 

beacon guiding me on this flight.

 

will our hearts ever find peace?

 

One day the world will know how much 

I love you. The world must know how my

heart feels lying beside you at night

 

will we ever dance in the moonlight?

 

I thought it was impossible for someone

to complete me. I thought it was another 

fable somebody told

 

I am listening for you on the wind

 

I now believe in fairy dust because, for

the second time in this life, I touched 

our love and it made me whole

 

I am just one wish away

 

I have no illusion that life will ever

promise a lover’s heart that things

will be fair

 

we are watching the same star

 

But I know this, if fate ever needed

to be kind, it should be to us; I will continue

to look on the horizon, hoping you will be 

there

 

the power of love is eternal

 

Smile when you think of us; such pure

love does not die. Although, it can lay 

dormant waiting for a sprinkle of hope

to appear

 

I believe in love all over again

 

There is a hug I have been saving for you

for a lifetime, and perhaps I will deliver

it one day and whisper in your ear, I Love You

until we dance

I have written my tears between the lines
