Your words are lips that kiss away the tears
from my face that no one else sees.
Your eyes are hands that pull me closer,
deeper into your soul's healing arms.
Let me run away with you!
Your songs dance at twilight
and quickly vanish like the moonlight
into the rising dawn!
Let me hide away in that secret place
between twilight and dawn,
so I may catch a glimpse of your songs!
Let me become those very songs that dance
like fireflies upon the waters at night,
hauntingly radiant...
For now, time has you
chained behind a cage,
because you are untame;
Oh how that leaves me enraged,
because I love that about you...
I wish we could run free together!
But until then,
your songs will beautifully haunt me forever,
your words endlessly taunt me till we can be together,
and your eyes passionately want me,
so I hide...
...secretly,
quietly hide between the twilight and dawn
like the fireflies upon the waters!
