Perhaps I'll know your Love

Perhaps I'll Know Your Love

Perhaps the light of day comes with a golden ray,
to push the heavy shadows to the side...
Just let me come on home.
Let me finally unload this pain.

Perhaps you'll look past these scars...
and the tears I try so hard to hide,
emotions of a weary soul
hurting deep inside.

Perhaps a life will have love,
not pretending to be...
Every word rolls off the tongue
to carry me, or pull me to your side.

Perhaps someday these pieces will mend,
with reaching arms that can hold
this fragile love that we know.

Perhaps someday my smile no longer fades,
or falls exhausted by my side...
screaming I'm alright.

Perhaps I write these words of love,
praying that you will finally see
the love I've held for you...

Perhaps, someday, I won't pretend to be someone you knew.

Perhaps, someday, you'll love me too.
