It Was Fate

Never forget kissing away the pain 
As we watch the sunset again 
Both of us were never the same 
It was fate that was to blame 
Hand in hand at midnight 
Nothing but the moonlight 
To light up our way 
What a beautiful way 
To spend our time to together 
I just wished this moment could last forever 
Our love just continues to grow 
You see I don't think you know 
What you've done to me 
I didn't think I'd ever be this happy 
That someone would come crashing into my life and show me I needed love 
That I start to believe you were sent from above 
Each passing day, with the words we say 
I know with you in my life these skies will never be grey 
Your the light in my dark 
You ignited that spark 
Kept me from falling into the deep pit of despair 
With all the little ways you showed you cared 
It was hard at first to let it show 
They often say when you know you know 
And my heart instantly knew 
As my capacity for love instantly grew 
I finally could see
That your the one for me 
All the late night crying alone 
All the times I had no place to call home 
Were wash away in the summer rain 
All my past heartache and pain 
Was washed away 
With each word you'd say 
You'd make me feel 
That my love was real 
I just wished I could have met you sooner 
Because I could of loved you longer 
I've waited for a long time 
To have someone I could call mine 
But these words I say 
May help you to see someday 
That I love you with every beat of my heart 
Each passing day that we're apart 
We miss our chance to be together 
But maybe one day it can be forever 
That I will realise that love is worth fighting for 
That the feelings won't go away if we ignore 
Maybe I'm stupid and weak 
But I know that my future with you in it is far from bleak 
So tell me to go away 
Or tell me to stay 
Forget the tears 
And embrace your fears 
Because anything worth having doesn't come easy see 
Just how much you really mean to me
