I can almost see you there
I can almost hear your voice through the air
calling me .. through the noise ..through the mess
let the time stand still just for us ..
I can almost smell the place ..
smell the mud after Rain
I can almost see your face ..

are you too playing old memories flashing back
you're smiling back
barely awake ..dreaming of that summer day by the lake
holding hands ..you and I walking through burning sand

I can too feel the breath that you take ..
I dare too dream of love we will make ..

come close ..come undone ..come what may
I am yours .. I'm the silly little girl waiting for your white horse
I would wait .. I would stand against the odds
break the laws .. fool the fate

I am lost ..in your arms there's a Home I can trust
there's a peace I long to ..freedom lies in your arms
and all the things I don't have ..things I can never do

forget about that thousand miles
let us be who we are for a while
just be mine ..
against the odds..against the world and all the signs
we will meet even though in our dreams
we will be together oneday as crazy as it seems

when the dust clears away ..I'll be standing in your way
I have faith ..in this love I beleive
I will stay .. knowing you have to leave

so let the time stand still
cause I'll fight yes I will

Very poignant writing, Zainab.  My hope for you is that the world and custom will change so that you will not have to fight to follow your heart.
Go well,
Jim
