She knew she shouldn't be doing this
So hard though to resist the magic of the kiss
Feeling her heart calling to love
She took one last look high above

Praying that God would somehow understand
She needed to feel the touch of a hand
She really did care, not playing a game
Now there's no one to point and blame

She knew better than to find this place
Trying hard as she could not, but mesmerized by grace
The light of love sobright, it opened her eyes
Now though at night one can hear her lonely cries

Time passes by, and the seasons do change
Life never the same, constantly rearranged
She'd give her life for just another chance
To bask in love, and to have the last dance

The light though was too hot, and it burned her bad
Now she just sits in memories, blue and sad
Love walked across her pages, and it had a lovely song
She should have known though, it wouldn't last long

Someday the pain will lessen and the rain will begin to clear
Always she will cherish this love she held so dear
To know for a moment they were in the same rain together
Is something she will treasure always and forever

She felt her heart changing, but it was too late to go back
Now she feels the clouds forming, as the storm is about to again attack
Sometimes late at night, she can feel the fires of love upon her skin
It's in those times that she reminices of this love held within

"you can't stop
the rain
from pouring down
can't stop the
world from turning 'round
can't stop me from
loving you
no matter
what you do"

a love to be held. . . and then, placed back in the trunk. . . until again, to be looked upon. . .

wonderfully done Amy. . .

Amy, it's beautiful, touching, and even sad all in one. Take another look up to those skies...you'll see others that care as well.
