THE DAYS
ARE
LONGER

The days are getting longer now,
Giving me more time to think about you and I,
Trying to see into the future,
Knowing I cannot so I just sit here and sigh.


The more time we are together,
The more things we do, and places we see,
Makes me think of you liking the same things as I,
And knowing you love me.


Not knowing what to do with your love,
Or knowing what the future will bring.
Even showing you my love
Or letting you see the way my heart does sing.


While holding you near, feeling your touch,
And feeling the way that I do,
Would I be able to go on again,
If anything happened to you?


Am I just being selfish in not wanting to hurt again,
Not wanting to hurt you too?
Let the future happen, walk on through life,
Let the love grow, just be, me and you.


Or just close my eyes, and let the future be as it will,
Be loved, and love,
Sharing everything in life
As though sent from above.


How nice it would be if
someone would answer for me,
But I have to answer to my heart...
I wonder what the answer will be.
