I Could

I Could.
I could love you.
With all my heart.
And my entire mind.
I could promise you that.
But I can’t.
Not yet.
I have to follow the wind.
And move away from you.
But I’ll leave behind a trail.
A trail to you.
I wish I had a Gretel.
To help me find my way home.
Home is where your heart is.
And where mine belongs.
I could trust you.
With all my secrets.
And my entire soul.
I could promise you that.
But I can’t.
Not yet.
I have to follow the rain.
And wash away my past.
But I’ll leave you an umbrella.
So you will stay dry.
And be my pot of gold at the end of the rainbow.
I could follow you.
With my two legs.
And my entire body.
I could promise you that.
But I can’t.
Not yet.
I have to follow my dreams.
And make them come true.
But I’ll leave you a dream catcher.
So you can catch my dreams.
Once they become real.
And rejoice with me so I’m not alone.
I could fight for you.
With my two hands.
And my entire strength.
I could promise you that.
But I can’t.
Not yet.
I have to follow my passion.
But I’ll leave you an empty notebook.
So I can fill the pages once I return.
And create a new chapter with you.
I could love you.
I could trust you.
I could follow you.
I could fight for you.
I really could.
But I have to follow a life for me.
So I can return ready to follow a life for you

I'Ll Show You

I'll Show You.
I want to show you.
Just where my head is. 
Where my mental notes. 
Write you into existence. 
Where your ticking.
Is the very essence.
That keeps my time alive. 
I want to show you.
Where my heart is. 
Where my beating rain. 
Pours you into my felicity. 
Where a future without you.
Shreds the wings of angels.
Making them mortal.
I want to show you.
Where my love is.
Where my yearning gates.
Open you into my amour.
Where in the light.
You shine brighter than the brightest star.
I want to show you.
Where my trust is.
Where my faithful walls.
Collapse you into my certainty.
Where in the dark.
You shine showing me my way out. 
I'll show you.
Because my words.
Are the sand I walk upon.
I’ll show you.
Because my actions.
Are the foundation to a truth.
I’ll show you.
Because I care.
I'll show you. 
Because I love you.
