Falling
Don't let yourself be hurt this time
The only person you can hate is someone you truly love because they are the only one who can hurt you. Hurt you deep down in your soul. Even long time after you forgot the words spoken and the wounds on the surface healed you can feel the pain. A pain you can mask with humour even sarcasm. You can mask it till yourself believe it isn't there anymore. But it won't stop haunting you. It won't stop haunting you even if your heart is full of love. A love you want to share but being too afraid to show how vulnerable you truly are.
Don't let yourself be hurt this time
Then I saw your face
Then I saw your smile
The day you first met her was the day your life changed. The day all you thought you had lost came back with one question.
It needed you to travel a galaxy to realize you still had left too much to lost.
You wondered how a complete stranger could possibly have so much faith and trust in you.
With the days going by you got to know her and realized she could see right through your eyes into your soul. She could see her trust wouldn't be misplaced. Never.
The sky is still blue
The clouds come and go
Yet something is different
Are we falling in love?
When you told him she was in charge it was only to annoy him. You thought.
But she stood her ground even fought like a mother lion for her young and you saw these were words never spoken so true.
You became her supporter. You would also tell her every time you differed with her. But you would never let her down.
And you became her friend.
Who had thought you would find your best friend in the cold middle of nowhere and follow her to another galaxy, to a legend older than mankind itself?
You would give your life for her.
You would kill for her.
You never thought you would be the one to try to kill her.
Don't let yourself be hurt this time
Don't let yourself be hurt this time
Then your kiss so soft
Then your touch so warm
You thought you were dead. Heck you even thought she was dead. But when you felt her arms around you you knew you had reached heaven. All what mattered was right there and then with you. Your home still standing your family still alive. And you had known this year would change everything.
You didn't know you would change into a creature feared by your friends. But she would still come to you long time after all others had turned you down. Even then she believed in you trusted you with her life. You realized she would give her life for you.
More than once you asked yourself how could you possibly deserve such a beautiful being like her.
She found her way into your heart although you had thought you had lost the key to it a long time ago.
Stars still bright
The mountains still high
Yet something is different
Are we falling in love?
It wasn't her you remind yourself every night you're awakening from the same dream.
Her gentle fingers running through your hair, her soft lips on yours tasting like vanilla and the salt of the ocean. Your hands encircling her slender figure...
Falling, falling
Falling, falling in love
You've changed more in this year than you've had thought possible. And you have to thank for all this the gorgeous woman sitting opposite you smiling so bright and beautiful she could illuminate the darkest night.
Smiling only for you.
Falling, falling
Falling, falling in love
