When you say you love me, do you really mean it
Or mouth the words you think I want to hear
Is it in your heart or created in your mind
Is it a fantasy or real

Love is more than words falling from the lips
Deeper than the ocean, not a shallow pool
It reaches to the depths, not just on the surface
Consuming your whole being, not just a tiny part

I think deep down you really do
But you’re scared to take that step
Afraid within your being
That you’ll lose yourself in me

Do not be afraid
Let loose your abject fear
Let flow the love you feel
So confusion does not win

96

Fantasizing late into night
Of you and me, another life
Together, silent, embracing
A kiss shared, and a look exchanged

In your eyes I see the future
In your sighs I hear an inkling
Of what could be and what now is
I think of what we could become

In you I have found what I want
In you I have found what I need
Silently my mind does traverse
All that we are, all that can be

In waxing dawn’s revelation
I find that my fantasy holds
That to be with you is my fate
One that shy away I can not

For to my heart the keys you hold
Unto the end of time and beyond
Another path I cannot see
Other than those that lead to you
