In All Ways

**Actually wrote this back in November, during a class, and just discovered my notebook **

A dream is a wish your heart makes, supposedly.

If this is true, I’d give up everything—

If I could always have, me and you.

Take my hand, don’t let go.

I’m tired of standing on my own.

I’d have all I’ve ever wanted

If I’d never have to say goodbye.

Je t’adore, te amo

In all ways, I love you

We take the beauty and the flaws

Our hearts are at the center of love’s laws.

Have You

Do you remember me?

I sure remember you.

I remember those eyes,

I remember that face,

I remember those hands

That held onto me so tight.

My heart and soul aches

As I remember how we once loved,

Will you come back into my life,

Carry me from the ashes like

A tainted savior raising me from the grave

In which I buried my heart.

Chorus:

In the dark we hide, our denial

That we ever loved at all

Inside I’m crying

Because I know I’ll never have you

Like I did once before.

But maybe we can have another chance,

I pray that chances are something

That can be granted more than once.

Is there still a piece of me inside of you

That you still hold onto just like your arms

Once held me close to your chest?

Come back into my life and stay there

Be the soul mate I once believed you were.

I’ll bite the forbidden fruit

If that will mean that I can have you

No need for seduction

All we need is the truth.

Chorus

Unfortunately for me,

I don’t believe that you will give me what I need

The redemption, the peace

Because you were always stuck in your ways

A crazy mustang that no woman could tame for long,

But I’m on my bended knees hoping.

I’m hoping that you’ve changed

But that the person I once adored

Is still there inside, too.

Can you reach out to me?

Let your heart remember the love we shared,

You’re existence keeps this hope alive.

Chorus

Like I did once before.
