Loving You

Would it make me feel better
if you say I look alright?
Would it make it all easier
if i just turn off the lights?
So you don't have to see me
hurting like this
and I swear that I'll not let us die
I just need a little time to figure this out.
My worst thoughts and worries
are all coming to life.
And though I know that you'll be with me
through the toughest and the best of things,
I still feel the pit in my stomach
growing stronger in fear.
So I'm gonna hide my face,
and close my eyes for a while.
To the moon and to the stars
to a place not quite so far,
that you can't catch me before i fall
and bring me back
to hold me in your arms again
and whisper of how you are longing
to be free with me
for eternity
we could sit here intertwined like this
simply lay and reminisce
of times that were better than they appeared
really we don't have much
but just each other feeling close
trembling from the heat and cold
of our bodies telling stories
all through the bitter nights
as you wipe the tears from my face
I fall deeper into your embrace
making love and sweet memories
washing away the pain
drowning out my sorrows
with your touch

and i hide my face
behind my eyes I'm starting to fly
to the moon and to the stars
to a place not quite so far
that you don't catch me as i'm falling
and bring me back
to hold me against your chest
and rest to the beating of our hearts
finally feeling free just to be
for eternity
Here with you is all i sought
to know your warmth
by the fires dancing light
wrapped  in blankets
up to our noses
fighting off the world
and all their fake red roses
their promises of better things
oh i know too well they cannot be
the best is where i am right now
fitting in your arms so perfectly
we've made it so far together
holding hands through time and space
continuing our loving state
overcoming tests and trials
others drug us through
just to stretch our strength
to test our devotion
we know where our loyalties lie
in the time that's passed
we've seen pain and conquered sorrow
surpassed misery and land here on our feet
our affections have come to last
I won't hide my face anymore
or close my eyes to cry
you've seen me for all i am
holding me helping me stand
together to the moon, to the stars
never straying very far
holding strong so we don't fall
back to reality, safe and bright,
and caress each other until mornings light
freely loving you
for eternity
