I've loved you since the time I was born
in the middle of a star-crossed night
full moon in flight through the skies
your image painted behind my eyes
waiting for the day the mirror appeared
and your reflection looked back at me
call it destiny…

Time floated down upon rivers of laughter
sailed upon oceans of tears navigating
its way through the years following
a chart to your heart, captained by fate
toward the impending date written
in gold upon my soul, a diamond day
came our way...

Unprepared for the depth of this love
fortune bestowed upon us at last
we reached an impasse, we couldn't see
the grace we'd been given that would
set us free to let our lives intertwine
two hearts blended, yours and mine
and time stood still…

In silence we tried to deny the decree
written before our births transpired
euphoria retired replaced by grief
spiraling down as an autumn leaf
A season over before it began
a perfect plan covered with winter
hardened by pain…

We denied ourselves the pleasure
of a soft embrace, face to face
meeting of lips, kiss to kiss
just a wish, a sky-drawn scheme
a lover's dream never played
upon the stage the stars made
the curtain fell…

Yet we dance again cheek to cheek
time brings us 'round once again
we seek the love we can't forget
forever in destiny's debt, to pay
connected souls will find a way
we'll meet as stars linger sweet
we can't forget

Thanks so much! I wasn't too sure about this one...I was worried it didn't "flow" well. Glad you liked it...I feel better now!
