Blooming Love

3 September 1990

When I first found you

I was lost and alone

Then I opened my eyes

To see the love that was offered

 

The fear in my soul

Warred against the love

With such a force

All I could do was run

…from you

 

Forgive me, my friend

I’m afraid of the end

What if I lose you

What would I do

 

The love in my heart

Is the beginning

The fear is of

The final result

Should your back

Be turned to me

 

Promise to never leave me

I need the love you have to offer

Like a rose needs water

To grow and prosper

 

When I look into your eyes

I see a reflection of myself

It’s too good to be real

Yet I fear it to be a dream

 

The look in your eyes

Registered surprise

As if you, also felt the power

Of what our love offers

As well as the pain

 

I feel as if I’ve known you

…forever

And I’m terrified

Of what it might mean

 

…forever?
