When you stand in front of me I can't stop my hands from touching you My lips from wanting your tender kiss Heart begging to look into your eyes And see what all lays behind them But I know better then to look What I long to see is not there So I close my eyes to you For fear that you will look into my soul And see the love you made grow You would run and say it can't be So I wait so patiently hoping for a day When you can take my hand in yours Knowing completely this is what you want Even if it doesn't last forever Promise me the next day, next year Promise you would try for a lifetime A painting of our future hangs in my mind Depicting all that our lives could be Wondering always if you can one see too I have to force myself to move on To consider all of life alternatives But I still stare at that painting for hours Seeing it through a blur of tears Longing to be one of the bright colors Captured in the embrace of love I will hold on to a thread of hope For a day that you will finally choose me So I will no longer fear opening my eyes And I could watch my painting come alive |
