Here I am in my world –<BR>And there you are in yours.<BR>And both of us pretending<BR>That’s the way that things should be.<P>Both of us trying hard<BR>… to be gentle, to be kind.<BR>But neither of us saying<BR>What is really on our mind.<P>Is this, then, how it is?<BR>Is this all it’s meant to be?<BR>Funny, but I how picture <BR>So much more for you and me.<P>We don’t talk much anymore<BR>About the dreams within our hearts.<BR>Or about how we came to be<BR>So close, yet so apart.<P>If ever two people should make it, <BR>Then surely you and I.<BR>We were once so strong, so solid<BR>Yet, we’ve slowly begun to die.<P>I think you saw it first—<BR>T’was your heart that felt it more.<BR>I was simply too in love<BR>To be fearful of the storm.<P>By the time the thunder sounded,<BR>You had moved so far away…<BR>Yet, still I thought us safe<BR>From the troubles of the day.<P>By the time I saw the storm<BR>I was too far out to sea.<BR>I had closed my eyes in love<BR>And the tide had carried me.<P>By the time I saw the danger<BR>And tried to swim to shore,<BR>You, my rock, had moved.<BR>And I was struggling in the storm.<P>You are still my rock…<BR>My husband, my love, my friend.<BR>And I’m no longer blind<BR>To the storm that we’ve been in.<P>I am older now, and wiser,<BR>And though I can’t undo the past…<BR>I open up my heart and say<BR>“Please, let us make it last.”<P>Please let us say “I do”<BR>In a new and deeper way.<BR>Please let us reconnect<BR>Before we lose another day.<P>Please let us say “I’m sorry,<BR>For the failures of the past.”<BR>And promise a new beginning<BR>For a life, a love, that lasts.<P>Please let us say “Forgiven”<BR>And to mean it from our hearts.<BR>Please let us say “I take you…<BR>Nevermore to part.”<P>For when I close my eyes<BR>I still see forever with you.<BR>And I guess that I am wondering<BR>Do you still see it with me, too?<BR>
