Words are spoken in a whisper
Words my heart knows are true
You wont let them be heard
You wont let them be fore you
I told you i loved you
I meant and still do
My arms still want yours
My heart is still for your taking
I never want to hurt you
yet, you never seem to let me in
I only want forever next to you
yet, your thoughts get the best of you
I cry after midnight knowing it will be hours till i hear your voice again
I tremble at the thought of losing you
It echoes in my mind day and night
You are my heaven my only release
You show me how to be a better person
You capture the true essence of me
You are my lighthouse on a storm wrecked sea
I want you to see i love you
I wish you could feel the way i do
I want you to know i only speak the truth
Though others have hurt you i wont
You put the wind in my sails
Your the water that makes my vessel float
The ores that propelled me to move
My sun to keep me warm
I ask for nothing in return
I want nothing but your love
I need your understanding
I long for every unspoken touch
You are my heart and my fire
I have no desire without you
My feelings seem too strong for you to believe
Just trust in me as i do you
You words cut me like a knife
opening me to my fleshy core
Exposing who i am deep inside
A helpless child looking for more
I wait for the day when you will say i'm yours
Or that fateful day that when you'll want me no more
