Breathless.

She looks out her lonely window
and suddenly she stares.
She doesn't have to hear his voice
Because he came, he cares.

But as the window lifted
he knelt down on one knee.
And as she watched, she melted
'Why has he come to me?'

He places his hand upon her cheek
and whispered very low:
"Being away from you so long
is harder than you know."

He lifted her up to meet his face,
glowing, burning there.
And finally, into his arms,
his everything to share.

She looked and saw a shooting star
'Please Oh Please just stay'
He read her mind and held her close,
And planned to stay that way.

She wanted to say she's sorry.
Sorry for the pain.
He came and went so honestly,
and as perfect as the rain.

She said "I'm sorry I ever hurt you,
it's hurt me just the same."
He said that she's forgiven,
and that is why he came.
