Honestly I Tell You

I've done a lot of waiting, love
for your sweet return.
A candle in my darkest room,
a strand a hope, of happiness.

You'd think I'd learn my lesson,
while I was crying on the phone.
But no matter how hard I shook the thought,
it never left me. You never left me.

Days deseased, graves of months despite my efforts.
I lost you, I lost it all.
A single tear, heavy with regret.
I should have listened. I never listen.

Just when it was gone, and I heaved one last sigh,
my heavy eyes forced just one last look ahead.
There you were. You were there.
Finally.

A chance from around a corner,
hitting my life with all it's force.
All the love I forced beneath me suddenly surfaced, no holding back.
You're here now. I feel you now.

A slowdance in that shallow hall,
laughter from behind my teeth.
A twinkle in your eyes as you swore to me.
I miss you too.

A caress, lead to bliss.
Bliss lead to romance.
I took in the rythm of your heartbeat,
I strive to hear again.
I've missed it, I've missed you.

The past is past, but in my future I want you.
I should have learned my lesson months ago,
but some people never learn.
Though just the same, some people never love,
and that I refuse.

I found you, I lost you.
I waited for you, I called out for you.
You came to me, you've tried for me.
I'll try for you, it's all for you.

So here I'll live, within your eyes.
In the moments that we'll share.
So here I am, a lonely girl,
hoping you'll take her back again.

I refuse to fall, but I'll walk with you,
hand in hand.
Praying for the best,
with not a locked door in sight.
