To reach you is already the pinnacle of my courage,
I can invent no more crooked paths.
What lies before you is the result of a well planned strategy;
No more ways I can find to reach the first steps of your heart.
But if my heart sings to you,
If my emotions dance chaotically before you,
I pray to unknown heavens, whoever is listening,
For you to glance into my heart.
And I am sure of my sincere emotions,
Tying you to me in a tightly knit bond.
And it is what it is,
My sincere confession to your pulsating heart.
I whispered your name beckoning to you on the evening wind
Come to me my beloved and let our souls blend
My heart sings to you and my arms are open wide
I'm praying while waiting for you to be by my side
Hear my spirit calling to you from across the vastness of time and space
Right here beside me, my only love is your destined place
Make this fantasy of mine real and fulfill passions every need
Listen to the wind my love for it carries to you my deepest desires seed
Come to me and rest my fevered head upon your tender breast
Come to me my love and put this burning desire to rest
Come to me and heed my siren's call
Come to me my beloved, surrender to love and have it all
From the beginning of time, it always existed.
Like gravity, it pulled; magnetically explicit.
Undeniable connection, yet not a single word spoken,
Leaving the mind to wander into unexplored oceans.
A possessive beast he was, on guard like a glock,
He’d find me in every crevice, I swear he watched me like a hawk.
Sweet and charming in his affectionate ways,
My heart always felt what he tried to convey.
I miss watching him walk by from my bedroom window,
If only God gave our precious time a pillow.
This deeply rooted love never knew no bounds,
Yet our rules of engagement now lie on restrictive grounds.
A burning silence forced upon by complicated conditions,
Bottled up a million words of beautiful admissions.
I wish I could say all that I want to say,
For now, I can only let the lyrics play.
I wonder what he’d say if he knew,
There's a million and one songs that my heart sings to you.
You’ll always be mine, ‘til the end of time,
My hearts on arrest, convicted of a love crime.
