What Walls Have I For You?
What walls have I for you?
What barriers are there for two hearts as mingled as ours?
What separation can there be when you are already a part of me and I am already a part of you?
What distance can be found in miles when you are always with me, when my heart is woven in
with yours and it will never be mine again?
My heart belongs to you.
I belong to you.
My future, my form, they are yours for the taking.
My hopes are in your hands.
You are the air to my lungs.
You are the dream to my sleep.
You fill me.
You are the want that I want and the need that I need.
Like the dawn needs the sun, I need you.
Like the clouds were made for rain, I was made to draw you in.
I was created to gather you, to piece you together and spill you out; only to draw you in
again.
I need you.
Like the shore needs the sea, I am only a desert without you.
Like a night without stars, I am lonely without you, vast and empty.
You have melted into my being.
You have seeped into the deep places of me, the recesses that I was unaware of until you
filled them.
What wish would I not grant you?
What whim would I not bend to?
And how could I be calloused to anything within you when you move me so completely?
So, what walls have I for you?
What barriers are there for two hearts as mingled as ours?
What separation can there be when you are already a part of me and I am already a part of you?
And what distance can be found in miles when you are always with me, when my heart is
woven in with yours?
