I wanted to write you a song,

but all I had left in my heart,

Was a pillow of tears I had cried all the years that I waited while we were apart.

I wanted to sing you a tune,

but all I had left in my throat,

Was the gasping of air choking back all the fear that this magic was merely a hoax.

I wanted to hold you to me.

Now all I have left in my mind,

Are the memories fading sweet embers evading the legacy you left behind.

I wanted to show you my dreams,

but you knew them all in a glance.

Now you’ve tainted me dearly left wounded severely here hopelessly praying on chance.

I wanted to chase you away,

to preserve what was pure in our hearts,

But you showed me this dream is alive in our being and nothing can tear us apart.

I wanted to show you my heart,

so I stood there my armor aside,

And you shielded me softly your love has engulfed me for you I have waited my life.
