The Rising Tide

I can’t erase or even hide All the things I feel inside Each time I look at your brown eyes And quiver with such pride. For even though these tears I’ve cried Spilled for you, I smile wide Each time we fight for one another Against the rising tide Of life. Simply put, the world outside Won’t allow a love untried And of the love I have ignored, This one can’t be denied. We’ll wait until the waves subside And the tears of life have dried To love each other with our best; Hand in hand, side by side.
