To Make Love Strong

TO MAKE LOVE STRONG

i think destiny may have been wrong about us
i think maybe, we weren't meant to be after all
we have lived so close together and free
but all the time unaware of this dividing wall

it was the snow that fell that evening
i had come to say some warning to your mother
she and i were worried about you
that you may be hurt by your father

you came as i was to leave for home
i hid so you wouldn't know we were talking in hiding
but you told her how you needed me
so i came out of shadows to yourself there crying

i knew to comfort you that night in care
you came home under clothes bruised to the length
you told me who had attacked you and why
they had totalled you with overcoming strength

that next day i stepped up to the abuse you took
i knew the party who had been so insane to injure you
we talked and i scolded him for his wrongs
he realized his crime and apologized before the dew

it seemed as though i should be your hero
and we to be stronger for the act i did for your comfort
but i stood to long and realized the pain caused was there
that it came from me being part of us in part

i cannot say why i shall leave this frenzy of dreams and love
since i still wish to be your savior in the light
but it was too strong a hate for myself to stay
in the future a reunion we could share so slight

be strong without me, as you were with me long ago
i hope for the truth of this story to inspire and shine
knowing that we had a symbolic life as two so far apart
myself not yours and yourself not mine
