Musing of conflicts in today's love scene |
As I step outside in the chill mountain air Looking at jagged skyline I reach back through the years, finding love and regret Through the memories that only are mine As I gaze to the stars deep in the silent sky night I then hear a movement inside “Are you coming back in?” sounding sleepy and light “Very soon.” I conveniently lied In truth I want to remember that past And let go of the chains that bind me I’m curious to see a love that would last And how glorious, that life would be She comes out beside me, and nuzzles my chin Dark hair tousled, dreamy eyes still asleep I wonder how this angel would see my great sin If my secrets and past wouldn’t keep I smell her sweet scent in the mountain breeze Feel her small frame close to my own Thinking of her makes me weak in my knees A unique love only we’ve known She understands how I’m made, through love and loss Yet my soul she still tries to save As I stare down the bedstream covered in moss Hiding emotions I always will stave I hear her whisper, “I love you you know” As my heart swells up deep inside Feeling my love and my mind grow Filling my life with her pride She understands this, and probably more As she reaches up to kiss my cheek I watch her slowly walk through my door Wishing that was all that I seek I cuddle next to her in my bed I live to listen for her soft sigh I gently kiss the top of her head “I love you too”, I wish I could lie As she drifts off to sleep in the mountain air In her nightclothes of satin and lace I long for our future…my soul is now bare As a single tear rolls down my face |
