It's possible

A candle to a man at night is light.
Yet to a man whose loneliness is as that of,
An orphan.
A candle then is company.
A candle to a man at night is light.
Yet to a man whose heart,
Whose heart is as lightweight as a rock so huge.
A candle then is comfort.
Then to a man whose room at night,
Is not the only dark place of his life,
A man whose very world is dark.
A candle then is not just light,
Yet is what fades away the darkness.
Before the man self fades away by darkness.
For this I keep Candle by my side,
In case I need someone to talk to of my troubles,
Yet now that I've met you,
I won't need Candle no more,will I?

My brain became sleepless the day I met you.
It has been sleepless ever since.
So even in my sleep I not only dream of you,
I think of you.
Just so you know,
I had to close my eyes to see,
Just how much you mean to me.
Then I saw you dazzling in my heart.
Dazzling beyond ,
The darkness of my closed eyes.

Yes the snow fell upon me.
Whitened my shoulders.
It couldn't whiten my heart.
Yet you have whitened my heart.
For this I mean you no harm.
My heart is full of love.
So are my hands.
So do not be alarmed when I come at your door,
Knocking with my foot.
I wouldn't want to let fall this love.
Instead I'd let myself fall as I have,
All for you.

Someone said so earlier that love,
Is nothing but fiction for fairy tales.
Not when I see it in me.
Not when I see it in you.
He lied.
Maybe it is fiction to you.
However if it is real in me.
Then allow it be in you as well.
It has to be real.
If you can't allow it be real,
At least allow it not be unreal.

It is written by God's hand.
Written that a man will meet a woman.
I am a man so I met you.
Allow our two hearts,
To feel as one as eyes see as one,
At least as ears hear as one.
Allow me yourself be mine,
If you cannot,
At least allow me be yours as I am.

Burn me with your arms,
Then water me with your lips.
If you can't I will let you go.
If only you can look at me now,
Without taking away my breath.
A breathless man is a dead man,
Yet you take away my breath for a moment,
Whenever I see you,
Yet in that moment I feel most alive.
Be mine if you can't I'll let go.
If only you can convince me ,
That I am okay without you.
If only you can remove my heart,
Without killing me.
Even if you would,
Still I'd love you even more without a heart.
