Forgive Me

Bound by something I can never have
I will be longing for eternity -
The other half of my heart and soul
This I know with certainty

Forever, the moment has passed me by
Having not taken the chance shown
Lifted from the bottomless pit
Then every chance for me blown

I reached out to you with my heart
Though the guides had me stand still
Lost in such a painful moment
You didn't stop to feel

Blinded by my silence, not trusting
Assumptions that ran wild -
A misstep, then two, then three
The many things not reconciled

Left in a loveless state
Needing to help you understand
Why I was recklessly bound
To this distant foreign land

Know deep within your heart
You are everything within my own -
Forgive me of causing your pain
Neither of us could have known

From Afar

I've died in your eyes a thousand times
Your imprint the deepest of my soul's cells
The strength of my heart, my warrior indeed
It is for your love my heart still wails

The very breath of me taken from within
The moment I felt you coming near me
Knowing with all I am or will ever be
It is only you who has my heart's key

Oh how I felt you somewhere out there
I closed my eyes and blindly stepped out
With nothing but faith and true knowing
As in every time, never did I doubt

Here you are, there not here
A connection felt around the world entire
I am burning inside to touch you once more
To feel now in this lifetime, again our fire

There is no obstacle that will keep me
From knowing all of my love's desire
Walk with me once again among the clouds
Until then, I will wait from afar and admire
