Be one with yourself, then you may hope to be one with another.
You test my heart
and taste it's vulnerability,
breathing fire to exhale tenderness.
You left me scorched with doubt.
Doubt that your motives are sincere,
by leaving yesterday for tomorrow...
Does this change come with guarantees?
Should I be willing to bare myself naked?
Naked and alone with my trust
expecting disappointment...
Am I torn by fear and foolish in love?
Life does not contain the truth.
Truth is to dwell in your dreams,
letting you become part of me.
We can never be one
until I can walk in your shadow.
