There was no other place

There was no other place

My love
I was so scared
To step into that place
Where my heart has never been
So wonderfully embraced

Night after night
Seeing you go home
I so painfully wanted to be there
With you all alone

Anticipating your touch
Never felt so real
All these years wondering
What our love would reveal

I was always amazed
By that smile on your face
While at the same time fearing
Not reaching that special place

My love
The pain and pleasure, felt so close together
I wished that they were strangers
Anything to feel better

I tried to run from you
Away from my heart
Scared that you would one day
May break it apart

I can no longer fly
Towards such a scary place
Where I might one day say
I never felt your embrace

There was nowhere else
I wanted to go
Saying I love you
Finally I know
