From a Vision of Love
Updated on November 1, 2013
I see you
I know you
I must hold you close
I must tell you how I feel
I need you to believe in a man
One more time
As I need to believe in a woman
One last time
I want you
I want your life
I want to make love to you
Until the oceans recede from the shore
You have removed hesitation and caution from my life
We can no longer use distance as a safe harbor
What we choose to say at night masks our true feelings
As the longing of faraway lights reflects off our armor
We barely touch but cannot break away
Our fears are bold but are ready to obey
What we know is enough to plant a garden
What we desire is to care for it together
What we want are tree tops touching the sky
What we need is the will to live under its shelter
There is every reason to sail alone
But even a mariner must replenish his stores
And for a heart that sees the ocean as its own
There is another standing on the same lonely shores
You may never believe it can be true
And it may be that you are right
But what you must know now
Is that you are who I dream of in the night
