Velvet Raindrop Words

Strolling through the corners of someone else's mind
I realize, and idealize until the daylight has all gone dark
But,I'm almost sure that I am no closer to the starlight
No closer then I was before this test
And I wonder exactly what I'm doing here, with you...
Sometimes I've got to leap before I look
Just as I've sometimes got to fall before I can fly
It's all a matter of where I'm at, and what my options are
And what risk exactly that I'm willing to take
Oh, and trust me, will you?
I'm willing to risk it all, banking on Lady Luck
While holding hands with her sister, Lady Fate
If the heart is the cost then, well, so be it
For the potential heartbreak is worth the potential love
And there is as much to be lost, as there is to be gained...
Sitting in the dark now, quietly, comfortably alone
The shadows do not scare me,nor does the silence that I hear
That is, if silence can truly be heard by ears that ring
Ring with velvet raindrop words whispered into mine ear
And with words spoken into mind, without the force of voice
Now so be it, my mind is filled and bursting with thoughts
Words ebbing and flowing, changing and swirling
And I now realize that I am close to the starlight, now
The starlight in your eyes...
