I Fell Asleep Crying, But I Woke up Smiling... Could That Be Grace, Could That Be Love, I Feel The Joy- Tried To Let Go Of The Hurt, Which Was Repulsive for Comfort...

My mind raced away as I tried to control my anxious heart... My lips diverged from yours with leftover love... My eyes were only locked onto you... I smelled like spring mixed with autumn. Everything was changing, and I didn't want to waste my heart, so I asked for another kiss... A slight relief but a heartbreaking memory. Two Hearts But Together We Beat As One...
