I was watching as the rain fell,
Running down the window pane-
I could not help but wonder,
If we'd ever talk again.

I guess I'm lacking polish,
Or perhaps you'd say, finesse?
For words I seem to fumble,
And I always make a mess...

If only I could tell you,
Just how much you mean to me...
If I could frame the phrasing,
Until somehow you could see...

That my heart is longing for you,
You are always on my mind-
You're the dream I've held since childhood,
And I've hoped so long to find...

You are water to the thirsty-
You are light to blinded eyes...
Your words touched me so deeply,
And they took me by surprise.

I find I am your captive-
Please don't ever let me go...
If you like, I'm yours forever;
Understand, I love you so.

To have lived the dream of a love so true...
