I Dream to Be More Than a Dream...

I know I can honestly save you from yourself
and I'll always let the promise
of this safety pass my lips
I can always keep such a promise
because baby, we're dancing with the devil
and we have to write own music for this one

I promise not to hurt you or to make you cry
and I know you'll do me the same favor in return
I'll be bitter and you'll be short tempered
and emotions will flare and clash

but if we try hard enough to see things through
we might dance until the earth under our feet
opens up and swallows us

there is this romantic pretense in the air
when you whisper your words back to me
"I dream to be more than a dream..."

so I'll seal my lips until I can hear
the clear sweetness in your voice
telling me its more
than just another fantasy

and if my dry lips crack
bleeding these words of insanity
I'll try to keep them from staining me

or
the "me" in your story
if i am but a tale
I'd hate to ruin the ending
but if you bring me to life
off the page and into this worldliness
perhaps we can love something imperfect

 

the candles are slightly dimming

revealing only our eyes of passion

reflecting back as we stare,

we are lost in this moment of pure bliss.

come closer to me and hold me

whisper your sweet, divine secrets to me

In my ambitious ear

I will listen,

but I will never tell

for this soul longs for comfort

a lover, a soul-mate, a friend,

beside me every step of the way

fear, I do not

stepping into the timeless world of love,

I take a chance

I venture out

and find only you...

so enlighten me with your words of grace

lead me into a world of nothingness

yet to me would be

everything
