Long Overdue



It's not about failing this far in
It's not about lose or win
It's not about proving I was right
It's not about having my pride to hold onto at night

Please, stop saying this is how it is
And stop believing that is what I think
Every other situation it may be true
But when it comes to you and me, these words are long overdue

Oh love, it's simply about this deep, unrelenting power
A love so calm yet passionate as it courses through and devours
No other arms will do when I desperately need to be embraced
My lips call out only for your sweet, unique taste

It's about having my dream realized in you
The where, how, when never really danced into view
I only ever saw you -- smiling, crying, and lying beside
Coming to me and me to you, only to collide

My heart wraps around every thought of you
My mind intertwines with every feeling flowing through
You're what matters to me, this I hope you know
I don't care about failing and I never will
For you are my dream, my passion, and the love that never lets go.
