Let Love Win

I know what I am missing, all this time we should be kissing.
But I can only reach you now and then
In moments on the phone when we can know we are alone
And in between...just live to call again.

I know how much we’re hurting, how it feels like we’re deserting
The best of who we are each time we part,
To wrestle with the yearning, such intensity, such burning,
No doubt you are the owner of my heart.

We say we can endure and yet I just can not be sure
That I can bear to always live this way,
Not knowing what to do about the love I feel for you,
And wanting you just that much more each day.

The love that we receive is always mixed with how we grieve
Each time it comes for us to say “goodbye.”
And carry what we’re feeling deep inside, never revealing
The truth that may just haunt us ‘till we die.

There’s so much more at stake than just the love that we would make,
There’s happiness that we may never know,
A daily celebration of our very inspiration
Could be for us we love each other so.

So join with me in scheming for the things which we are dreaming,
With each new day our love again begins,
A quest to find the light that you and I can make so bright,
If we can come together...loving wins.
