Why do you slice through my night
only to fade like a distant storm?
Never lingering, never touching~
never laughing, never loving?
A restless wind in search of a calm.
I whisper your name in the darkness
and you appear by my side~
I hold out my hand to you
but you melt back into the shadows
Afraid to touch, afraid to love.
Again, I whisper for you in the darkness
once more you come to me.
But now, I hold my heart out to you~
you pause. . . I lay it in your gentle hands,
Together now we know, we are safe, we are one.
