The Petals and the Vine

Together we once journeyed to the unknown
To young and naive to understand about real love but we ventured to where wild flowers only 
dared to grow
Traveling along with each other to hold not sure just where that road would go
Out there where to wicked soft wind would blow
Landing upon the flowers were the bees
Singing up were the birds that whistled sweet melodies from high in the trees
Hanging on to each others words were us wanting to be as one and to live free
Words can never completely tell you what exactly for you I felt
But you stole my soul and made my heart simply melt
And right here in my heart and soul I still hold you dear
Hoping that one day soon I will once again have you near
Back then I knew we would somehow make it through
I was there by your side all I needed was you
We were on a roller coaster ride
When it got to be scary, you would cradle me right on your shoulder and shield my eyes so I 
can hide
We were up high, until we had to come down
Walking away without not one single sound
And for me here and now all I do is look around
Even if many years have past from your memory I still drown
My mind won't let my moments of you close
You are here with me everyday and haunt my dreams like a ghost
My heart and mind keep you here and won't let you go and I'm stuck being loves host
Just like our love which is shared between us both, a flower has two part personality, the 
petals and the vine
And all I can keep doing is recalling the past where you were mine
Through all the trails and tribulations we have par took in during our lives
No matter what we have done, whether we have accomplished tasks or how we have had to 
suffer or strife
Back to each other a way has always been found
I know to one another we are destined to be forever bound
What we have for each other is ever so real
Which is why all this emotion is still what we so strongly feel
When it comes to you my heart will never be able to fully heal
My time here is froze
Your life there is what for now you've choose
I'm still laying her constantly awake
For only your love my heart will continuously forsake
I long for you to hold me again my heart is yours to take
Let's go back to where the wild flowers dared to grow then you can take me in your arms 
tight, you know I won't break
Between us the love and ties still bind
Two part personality the petals and the vine
