I Could Be Yours

To the one I haven't met yet,

Sweet emotions hinder me
From speaking to you ever so softly
One part of me says let it be
While the other half won't leave so quietly

So I ask the moon on this night of a thousand stars
To to shine on the sacred land where you lie
For whether it be in houses, parks or bars
I want you to know that I'm the guy

I'm the guy who'll lay you down in a bed of roses
While hoping that no one else proposes
When it gets dark, too dark to see
I will be the light that sets you free

Those three words are too cliché
You won't stay till the light of day
And without you I'll be lost
In a deep ocean covered in frost

I want you to know that this was the hardest thing I ever had to write
More excruciating than a quest, more formidable than the deadliest fight.
I want you to know that I could be yours
So don't abandon me in my inner wars

For I want you in the story of my life
So please, take a leap of faith, a shot in the dark
And avoid slashing me with love's knife
Avoid forever making your mark

Sweet emotions hinder me
From speaking to you ever so softly
One part of me says let it be
While the other half won't leave so quietly

Forever yours,
Rando
