Just within reach
His heart calls out to me
And I’m running so freely
My hand outstretched
Trying to seize moments and more time
He does his best
Never before has my heart ached
Without the presence of an essence
While I try to play it cool, I can’t
While I try to find the right words, I rant
While I try to grow far away, I plant
Because he scrambles my world as his girl
He reins the small corners of my deep
He’s been watching me
Those gentle brown eyes waited, never stated
I never knew he was there
But now he sees me so clearly and I see him
He fed me with his kindness, his patience and set my fears into overdrive, oh I was ready to run because I had never felt the sun like this before, there was only darkness before, and I cried and cried as my heart and my head fought epic battles for hours
He brought me flowers
And somehow that hurt more than it healed
Because I’ve always been concealed
But he shouts to the world
I’m his girl
And my lesson is to learn
Even if we are to burn is that
love is possible
Unstoppable
And I say this cautiously because love like this doesn’t last forever, but however long I have to stand in the sun with him, I’ll take it and how he feeds my soul, I’ll make it and it’s been so long that I could write like this, fight like this, I wait for his kiss and I’m anxious and I like holding his hand as we drive,
I promise I’ll keep us alive
Hold my hand, my love
You’re within my reach
My heart calls out to you
And I’m walking so carefree
Our fingers laced
Trying to seize more moments and more time
We do our best.
