Somewhere along the way
Love for you found its way in
From the moment I looked into
Your beautiful eyes
All I wanted to do
Was make you mine

Making it all about research
Just so I could be close to you
Was all I really wanted
Until the day it became more
No research could equal
My deep desiring love for you

Wanting to protect you with my life
Every step of the way
Unable to live without you
By my side

My heart is yours
Wrapped in a passionate kiss
Lost in the beauty of your eyes
All those stolen moments
Burned in my memory

As all I want to do
Is wrap my arms around you
Never letting you go for all eternity
Even as you lay here
Before me as Snow White
Waiting for true love's kiss
And the day I can call you mine

I love you, Kate

Closing my eyes against the pain
Near my beating heart
Your strong arms around me
With your words echoing in my mind

All those months of fighting
Buried feelings deep inside
Keeping you at a distance
Keeping my heart from you
Felt like the right thing to do

Nothing makes sense anymore
Feeling colliding on a roller coaster
Through the pain in my heart
And the love running deep
Afraid to give my heart away

Knowing deep down
My heart beats for you
With love I've never felt before
Beneath all the bickering
And pushing you away

I don't know what I'd
Do without you there
Driving me crazy
Making me laugh
As I've been slowly
Fallin' in love with you

~Almost Losing You~

Just to hear your voice

Comforting me

Bringing a smile to my face

When all I want to say is

I love you

Smiling when I see you

Wanting to run straight into your arms

Butterflies fluttering each time

I hear your voice whispering into my ear

Wanting to hear those words again

Until the moment

My world fell apart

The gun pointed at your head

Seeing you sitting there

Wanting to rescue you from this hell

But only able to turn away

Struggling inwardly with my feelings

Knowing how my heart beats for you

Tearing me apart inside

Wanting you here by my side

Comforting my aching heart

Words cannot describe all the dust

Left behind in a cloud of smoke

Thinking you were lost from me

When deep down

All I wanted was to find you

Took every ounce of steam

Not to let the tears fall down my face

As I called your name

Desperately wanting you to be alive

Not wanting to believe you were really gone

Fearing for your life

Until your voice

Cut through the silence hanging in the air

Your smile filled with such belief

It was all I could do

Not to fall straight into your arms

Where I so longed to be

Seeing you before me, alive

Brought joy to my beating heart

Making time stand still

With only you there staring at me

Stripped of any teasing banter

Full of love for me

How I wanted to kiss you at that moment

To feel your strong arms around me

Just once more, without dreaming

Lying there close to your beating heart

Full of the love I feel deep down for you

Is more than you'll ever know

Memories surfacing as

Walls crumble to the ground

Visions of light flashing

Gunshots echoing through the air

Looking everywhere for a place

To hide from all the pain

Near my beating heart

Where things will never  be the same

Beneath all the scars

Hidden from view

Trying desperately to survive

While pushing you away

When all I want is

To know you're there

Falling into a downward spiral

With broken glass all over

Cutting through the pain

While everything is numb

As tears spill out

Pooling down my face

Like the blood on my arm

Moving along an unknown path

Where to go from here

As life spins out of control

Trying to fight the demons inside

Wanting the pain to stop

The memories of the shot

To vanish from thought

With no where to go

But the comfort

Of a trusted soul

Reaching out a hand

As a promise to help

Ease the pain life dealt

To become a better person

Breaking through ancient walls

Letting go of definitions

Falling into love

Fully without restraint

Only then will the pain and

The memories of that day

Lay dormant without a sound

Except for your beating heart

In my ears as you

Hold me close

Comforting me from

This fall called love

Forever and always
