I know what it's like to love
See, I've walked down this road and I've seen the promised land
Where no one, alone, would ever stand
Where love is in the air and lust is in the soil
Where you can give away your heart and fear no recoil
It's a land of wonder and true bliss
It's a land that, often, I do miss
It's a land most men can't find, and I was lucky to find it once
And I never thought I could be there again
See, I've given up on love long ago
Most people can't find it in their entire lives and I thought it outrageous that I may find it twice
Until I met you
You move parts of my brain I've long forgotten existed
You touch something in my heart I thought was long gone
When I'm around you my soul feels rested
And when I'm without you I feel all alone
A careless wanderer on an empty planet
A lost tourist in a land with no words
And I want you!
And I wonder what you are
I don't believe in angels or devils and yet I see them both in your eyes
I don't believe in hell and heaven and yet I feel them under your guise
I see myself diving into your ocean though I know it isn't wise
And somehow I feel cleansed as if I'm being baptized
I wonder
What is it about your lips that makes me forget
All my tears blood and sweat?
All my pain.. Every stain left by a memory that I've once kept
I wonder
What is it about your eyes that makes my soul shiver?
It's as if Cupid has emptied his quiver into my heart
And I barely know you, this is only the start
And I know in time you'll tear me apart
But I couldn't care less
I wonder
Who broke into my heart, changed all the locks, and handed you the keys?
How can you make a home there with such ease?
My heart was so cold that it used to freeze whomever would touch it
And now it feels so warm in your hand
And I feel so dizzy I can barely stand
And so I'm falling.... in love with you
You have this quality to your words, to your thoughts
I'm so intrigued by your mind
I'm so dazzled by your light
That I can't help myself but write these words on these pages
Or else they might escape their cages and find their way to your ears
You're everything I want
And everything I never knew I wanted
I can't bear being your friend
And every time we talk I try to extend it just a few minutes more
Just a few seconds longer
And with every second my hope gets stronger that just maybe you'd start to feel the same
But I fear you'd always see me as a friend
And my brain keeps on telling me to put an end for fear that my heart wouldn't bend, it would break, and it would ache, and it may never mend
Yet I refuse to run, I refuse to play it smart
I shall stand here waiting, I shall steel my heart
For hope that maybe one day, I may steal your heart
