Make Believe

This is what I have for you,
I believe it is everything...a woman
can want or need from a man

desperate for your happiness,
that in the depths of dark mystery
you might wade through my soul
as shallow water

and get lost then guided
back with lights you've never seen
shine so luminously,

into my arms, asleep as I brush
the tress from your face
while you dream of your
reailty

to wake up and want nothing,
but fulfilled your heart,
you are free...
...you are complete with me.

Yet all this you chose not to see,
so for you real love will always be...

...make believe.
