Ever So Tenderly

The answer to my prayers,
all my dreams come true in you.

But for one,
one so true.

To have you,
to hold you,
to call you my own.

Out of my darkness you came,
into my heart you have arrived,

but not to stay,
for you can not.

You belong to another,
this I do know.

But that can not stop 
the dreams from coming,
It can't stop this longing,

this unfulfilled burning desire
from screaming out your name.

My heart knows something
it does not want to know.

The dreams I dream
standing in front of me

all came true in you
when we held, 

my heart, 
it told me so,
it let me know.

So close and yet
a million miles away

you are from me,
you are from my world

dare I dream this dream
of this unattainable aspiration?

Dreaming of holding you
ever so tenderly,
ever so gently,
close my heart to yours,

as our soul become of one flesh,
as we become as one for all times,

without beginning 
and without end.
