I Can'T Speak Loud Enough

I’m going to hold on Like every moment is the last No easy goodbye With life, my shadows I cast Far from my reach I can’t speak loud enough No, I can’t speak loud enough For you to know I’m yours I’m going to open my heart And see everyone for the first time I’ll clasp each hand As we’re linked toward the sky Here we go, far from the lies Here we go, beyond our might Never asking why I can’t speak loud enough No, I can’t speak loud enough For you to know I’m yours I’m going to weep Searching down for you Only to see I’m searching for me Far from my reach, I can’t speak loud enough No, I can’t speak loud enough For you to know I’m yours Here we go, far from the lies Here we go, beyond our might Never asking why I can’t speak loud enough No, I can’t speak loud enough For you to know I’m yours Far from my reach, I can’t speak loud enough No, I can’t speak loud enough For you to know I’m yours

It wouldn't matter what you say or do. It doesn't matter. In fact, we are probably better off that we can't make the world be the way we want it. A very serious and sobering lesson. Yes, the search is for you. You know you touch the hearts of many souls here. I can only imagine what you can do in person. Nevertheless, it will never be what it needs to be for the deaf one you are talking to. That one is operating on a different wavelength.

Like an angel whisper in my ear and I will hear you better than the trumpets of Caesar. It is you that matters and the subtleness of your gentle soul. Let them come to you as you must for you are amazing~kilimer

Its ok, let love breathe a little :)...why love someone if they can't teach you about yourself. The woman I love does so relentlessly. These are lyrics of a love heavy heart Laura...J.A.B.

Sometimes the loudest messages are communicated in a whisper. This is an exquisite piece of writing.
