Can this be coincidence?
This banter between us two?
I search for answers to questions
I search for those answers from you

If I were to ask questions
Am I of the answers scared?
Or do I seek all the truth
And so have my feelings bared?

Closest I feel I’ve ever been
To a woman when we talk
I do not wish for this to lose
So these questions do I block

If every time I thought of you
A piece of silver I did gain
Such a rich man I would be
As my thoughts I can not restrain

I think of time with you well spent
So fully sharing hopes and dreams
Away do fade our silly fears
For hope and faith in thought redeems

If I of you think ever not
My life would be with sadness fraught
My hope’s that do I my thoughts give
A love that nothing can outlive

I sit here alone in this room
Thinking of you, thinking of you
Through my addled head thoughts rushing
Feelings and dreams, madness ensues

You do I feel like I’m losing
Something that should never have been
I wish that these feelings would leave
But all they do is come again

So swept away by emotion
I never paused to think on this path
I followed thus to conclusion
Never reckoning the aftermath

I know we messed up royally
Doing something we shouldn’t
We did party way too hard
We didn’t know we couldn’t

For all the things that happened
And for those things that did not
I’m truly, truly sorry
To have put us in that spot

I need to make it up to you
I don’t know where I should start
Because the me you did see
Is not the one in my heart

I need to treat you with respect
That that night I did not show
Want to be the man I am
So this relationship grows

Promise now to just be me
And try not to ride the fence
For you, dear, are my Princess
And I want to be your Prince

‘Neath that strong exterior
Fragility does lie
Something you need not tell
It’s apparent in your eyes

Your bluster is a shield
From fears of the unknown
You need a protector
Against what has been sown

You’ve searched for years in vain
Sweet solace that you need
While all the while in pain
For that which you do plead

In deepest, darkest night
You cry for humble rest
Weariness taken away
So stills your aching breast

Protection offer I
To slake your unquenched thirst
And humbly do keep watch
Against your demons worst

If rest you do so seek
Against depression’s charms
I pray you find it meek
Within my open arms

Sitting in the bed
Memories float by
Much happier times
Remembered have I

Pleasant longing looks
Twinkle of the eye
Desire in a gaze
Heavy knowing sigh

Overhead a sky
Deepest darkest black
Punctured by the stars
Bleeding love I lack

Underneath, the soil
Spreads a blanket blue
Lovers hand in hand
Spy the retinue

Constellations seen
Gazing into night
Night turns into day
With the morning’s light

Gaze into your eyes
With azure like hue
Want to spend my time
With this woman, you

If you ever spy
Or dream this unbound
Know this one thing true
I’ll be always ’round

Do you want me to say that I love you?
Are those the words that you’re needing to hear?
If me saying that is all it would take
I would gladly say it to you, my dear

But things have not progressed unto that point
Deep inside my fettered and feeble mind
To say those things to you and mean them not
Is something that would be so, so unkind

As slowly my emotions upward come
To seek release in their proper forum
Strength and courage hope I to have someday
Deep and meaningful words of love to say
I’ll loose the dam of emotions inside
To nevermore my deepest feelings hide

I am afraid of offending you
One that I hold so dear
I know I should not feel this way
Whenever you are near

I know I shouldn’t feel this way
I should strive to be myself
But because I do not wish to offend
I put it on the shelf

The romantic you bring out in me
The things that I ought be
My thoughts and desires are wholly yours
If only I could see

Those feelings that I feel for you
I need to want laid bare
The desires of my heart and mind
To bear witness how much I care

These thoughts whirl through my empty head
A storm that does not cease
One day I hope to very soon
Within you and me have peace

You are so amazing
In everything you do
I struggle to keep up
But I will follow you

From the top of you head
To the tips of your toes
I am so attracted
To you this feeling grows

Lingering in the air
Your smell excites my senses
Longing so for the day
There are no more pretenses

I have fallen for you
More than my mind allows
Do I want so much more?
Can my heart make such vows?

We’ve a long road ahead
Til this journey is done
A voyage to be made
Us together as one

I have so much to say to you
Of my hopes, my dreams and my fears
I want to say it from face to face
And know that it enters your ears
 
To see your smile, to see your eyes
To watch you as you brush your hair
To touch you where you need me to
To show to you how much I care

I have so much to you to show
And so much that I want to do
If only we could just cross this bridge
Forever I could be with you
