Running through the forest

I think of my love

What she means to me

And what I'd do for her

I'd give up blood

Go on national TV

I don't think there's anything

I wouldn't do

But as I come into the clearing

I think of one thing

As a bird swoops by

And my heart follows its soft song

I will not take this from her

This life this wonder

It's all there for her to take

But why does she choose me?

I run through the night

Following a familiar path

I find myself outside her window

Wondering if I'm allowed in

I have almost decided

When I stop and look out

Upon the shimmering night

Thinking maybe this isn't so bad

When I reach her bed

She is still fast asleep

In her own little dream world

And I hope I'm with her there

As the first light

Spills over her face

I am still unsure

About what is best for her

For I know if I change her

I will be taking so much away

But if I leave her unprotected

What will happen then

But it does not need to be decided now

It can wait another day

Because as her soft eyes flutter open

I know I am the first thing she sees
