Love

A burning consumes my soul
As I gaze upon thee
Yet you do not see
You are my goal

Slowly you turn and walk away
Though I do stay
My heart goes with you
Oh, if you only knew

My days are filled with visions of you
Yet our moments together are so few
I try to speak, what is in my heart
Yet again you are gone before I start

One day we meet in the park
On a night left dark
On a bench do we sit
My mind races, yet I have no wit

Taking your hand, in both of mine
I look deep into your eyes
Now is the time
Yet a coward still lives in me

I gaze upon thee
Your lips so soft and full
Your hair, long and flowing
Your manner, so carefree

Your eyes, sparkling
Diamonds in the sky
Your face, soft and lovely
Like a porcelain doll

Yet in me is a fear
Of which I cannot speak
Then you smile, the spell you break
And you hear

Now I am at peace
My heart rejoices
Together do we say
I love you.
