For You...
"For you, my love, I shall remain right here, beside you."
As I return from far beyond,
I see the palace you have made.
I want so much, to venture on,
Inside this place where you have stayed.
To see what wonders lay in wait,
Or what it is you'd have me do.
To laugh and cry, to love and hate,
To live and die, a love so true?
I look within and see your throne,
Randomly reflecting light,
On which you're sitting all alone,
Just within my range of sight.
I come inside, and touch the ground,
I try to walk, but soon I slip.
And looking back at what I found,
It was my past that made me trip!
I get back up, and try again,
Releasing all I've known.
I want so badly to begin,
To see what may be shown.
You're coming closer now, I think.
You notice me and wave a hand,
And smile as I start to sink,
Into this place I've stopped to stand.
Time seems heavy for me now,
As thoughts are flooding through my head,
I look at you, and notice how,
I've always trusted what you've said,
Been happy when you're with me,
And loved the things you'd do,
You're the one I'd want to see,
And you'd always be there too.
My gaze gets stuck inside your eyes,
And makes me smile when I'm sad.
Now I finally recognize,
Because you're here, is why I'm glad.
I've stood and sunk, up to my heart,
But now this feeling's bursting through.
I've blasted out, and now I start,
To blast my way to you.
I touch your hand and ours entwine,
They need to touch to stay alive.
Your lips are now so close to mine,
That time has stopped, before the dive.
We let this moment soak us through,
Absorb it, like a sponge,
Suspended up above you,
In a gentle, frozen plunge.
Time exhales a gentle sigh,
And draws us closer still,
But slows to stop me in the sky,
Again, as it did will.
So, floating, frozen, close to you,
My hand can feel your grip.
It's soft embrace is how I knew,
You'd never let me slip.
Then suddenly, time let us go,
Much quicker than it stopped.
Time returned to what we knew,
As if it had just popped.
I feel our lips are pressed,
And that is all I know,
That I have come to rest,
Within your gentle glow.
