I hid myself, to keep her safe

November 19, 2008

You know you caught my heart that night,
when the moon danced and hid behind your eyes
and I dreamed of everything we could be.

But I was terrified of what the future might say,
and how the world would tear our hearts away.
So I hid myself
and my heart and how I felt,
if only to keep you safe.

Will I regret this
ten years from now when I’m dreaming of your smile,
or perhaps it’s just another moment passing
and we’ll forget each other to the drag of time.

But here and now, alone in the dark,
holding your picture in my mind and a sky full of stars,
I need you to know that I would come alive
if only we could make this right
and I could free my heart.
