Although I may not be true,
My love for you is.
I hope with this start; anew,
I ask for your forgiveness.
Time has seemed to slow.
I sit and wait, I sway
Back and fro.
For those undying words from you.
I sit and wait, today
My heart does only grow.
I see your ever-changing eyes,
With love, they kindle a fire,
With hate, they are like knives.
Still feel the softness of your skin,
A small part of what I admire,
You, I thought, I could never win.
Who you are inside and out, soul and mind
I'll always care and love for, don't you see?
No one else I'd rather find
Life and death, happiness and sorrow, love and hate
Forever here, I'll always be
Because, to me, you are truly great.
In pain I may sometimes feel
As nature calls, strike of lightning, roaring showers
It seems too real.
The power drawing clouds and winds are cruel;
But standing tall, this grows above all, now towers
I do this for you.
A chance to fully and truly regain
Everything from you.
I'll do this in the floods of tears and rain
Because, I love you.
