when i met a beautiful, young woman who took interest in me
i acted like myself and i didn't believe
but she persisted and responded to all the signs
that usually spark frustration and feelings of failure in my mind
there are so many crosses that i did not leave behind
and they poke the inner parts of me, begging to be revived

i didn't want to realise that someone actually cared
i spent my childhood convincing myself that no such one was there
so when she came into my life, i was far from prepared
and it was a great achievement just to be aware
that i actually am a human being with qualities that might attract
such beings of true beauty as she was, no doubt of fact
i used my usual lack of wit to coo her and impress on her
that there was a valuable commodity present in myself
my ego found a venue it had not before explored
and i found myself believing this young angel more and more
i finally broke a wall within, a blessing from above
that i might just be a man and the object of her love

there was an opportunity i saw where i could try
this universal force called love at least once before i die
i told myself for years that i'm the type who should die young
but experiences of happiness with her now make me hold that tongue
the tongue of mine that wants me sad and always focused on the bad
but now this vision of love has rather made me glad

it has been three months time from when i first looked on this girl
and inbetween my flustered heart, such beauty as all the world
was present in her soft form, a natural beauty in every way
even as critical as i am, my love for her grows every day
what a bond was waiting for us that never new the pleasure
of each others' company, an unforgettable treasure
what memories i now have, so freshly stored inside
that still i'm swept away in an emotional landslide
when tested on every end of why we two should not be true
after every possible discomfort i stayed dedicated to you

in the wake of a runaway boat of fire from an injured heart
i sewed and mended and recommended advices from the start
we couldn't believe the bliss we shared in a world as skewed as ours
the abuses that we suffered at home, the thousand lonely hours
spent crying on our beds, wishing we were dead
watching hope of a happy life split like a needle through a thread
headaches from the torture that we tried to understand
because those blows weren't meted from a enemy's unkind hand
the murderers of our happiness were the people from within
those who should have loved, not beaten, us, their children kin
who knows what life had dealt to them that made them deal us so
but we together shared the pain that some will never know

we tried to think of problems that we would not overcome
the skeptics bred inside us couldn't find a single one
so now i think, seeing your sadness, my love, how could this be
that you are sad in so many ways while still in love with me
where have i failed, in my respect, to calm your mental storm
just tell me what i do that's wrong and fails to keep you warm
the problems that you choose to face without me, on your own
give me the chills that somehow i've let my angel feel alone
i thought i had the strength of many and could at least support us two
but now i'm scared that all my strength will not even lift you

i've been the happiest lately in my life than i've ever been
i have the force of love inside to fight your woe and win
for there is no longer you or i, but us as one united
between our souls we'll feed on force the universe provided
this power called that binds our love in a cloak that can not break
within we'll grow and, blooming so, repair all our mistakes

my love, you came to me just like a vision in a dream
you give me reasons to exist that once had never been
not everyone finds love like ours, for it is very rare
some do not live long enough, some don't believe it's there
and i was one such person until you came and changed my mind
to my young, but weary, soul, you have been infinitely kind
My love for you grows instantly for everything you are
within the darkness of myself you are the brightest star
shedding warmth and light in places lost so long ago
how much your heat means to my cold, my love, you'll never know
i understand your need of me and what i mean to you
i've never thought it anything but a love equally true
for nothing will ever quite compare to what we are together
and so, my love, accept this heart that beats for you forever...
