I know all you see
is darkness
but I see light
It must be so lonely
inside
all those feelings
you constantly fight
the ones you're trying to hide
deep
in the abyss of your fear
I knew I would find you
hiding here
afraid to really trust
what you already know
Love is on the other side of this door
Series of hurts and pains
Restless nights,
tears,
and fears
and so much rain
have caused you to not chance
loving again
Every lover won't leave you
standing outside
in the cold
Every body
is not meant to stay
But some remain
until the whole story is told
Sometimes
the best kind of loving
only lasts
for a season
a month
or even a moment
But it's still love, my dear
Beyond those murky shadows
of what could possibly be
is a place
so affectionately called
you and me
We can get there
It's on the other side of destiny
right around fate's bend
no promises needed,
Hearts broken
will eventually mend
We make our own rules
ours to break
All we have is today
and our happiness at stake
Look what we could have
in the end...
Happiness

excellent
