serious

 
serious affection, stirs my soul deeply
inflections of true understanding, very evocative, like touching God
tender epiphanies, your knowing speaks to me

my heart aches, swelling with emotion
to conceal the way I feel is impossible
my secrets show in a blush
confessions of the soul, leave me bare
no covering for my scars

memories of us haunt every shadow
inside the need, i weep
you are my everything, so lost without you

tending to my love I dream of us
reconciling with hope
it is bitter torment to believe

yet, I clothe myself with what's left of you
your old t shirts
holding onto the way you smell
like fresh rain on a hot day
a mixture of dirt and hard work

redeeming value, I was always your sunshine
storm clouds blew in and i lost my best friend for a moment
happy day, when your love returned

my soul renewed within my faith in you
tested waters washed clean in our sin
I recognize our human frailities
it's humbling I admit, I'm weak when it comes to you
but I realize this is no passing fancy

I'm willing to fight for what's real
I don't believe in throw away people
