When We Listen

It begins with a spark Ignites into a flame It charges through your chest It fills your lungs Every breath you take burns within your throat Your eyes water Your head spins Your legs are too heavy to move You reach out... Hoping to touch something Hoping to feel something Needing to hold anything for support The tips of your fingers reach out a little farther It's difficult to see through the fog And then... Something is there Something to give you hope that not all is lost There it is, almost out of reach, but still there With one last belief in your own heart, you take that leap of faith And hold onto the one thing you believe can save you. You leap forward~ ~Towards Love!

The memories of you dance within my mind. Happier days, happier times. A quick glance, a playful smile. Hoping you would stay awhile. How sad to know it wasn't true. How sad to find I was nothing to you. I am not angry I am not mad I'm just here thinking How sad A dream with so much promise Has dwindled down to this Just a glimpse of what was Now fading in the mist

Can you hear me? I am the whisper in the wind. Can you see me? I move with the leaves as they stumble across the ground. Can you feel me? I am the beat within your heart. Can you sense me? I am the prickling down your spine. Can you reach for me? I am the image in the corner of your eye. I am all around you. I am always with you. You have to believe anything is possible... And then you will find me!

Let us pretend we were once in love. Our eyes could never see another, we were entrenched in each other. Let us pretend that it was real. No one else would shatter this dream happiness was everything~ It seemed. Let us pretend it last forever. You didn't ask to never share with me again. We only saw happiness till the end. But, today it ends. Happiness was not here at all. Thoughts of others whispered from the walls. Our hearts were not in this. So, why should we pretend? There must be something better than to live this lie? Even if it is to walk forever alone. I would rather that~ then believe, Pretending is ever better Than what true love can bring!
