Oh for years on this path
to your heart I have been,
And all the while
My light has not once gone dim.

I have shrouded it with lust
With sadness, with fears
But never will I forget
Those nights and those tears.

I remember all the smiles,
I remember all the joy
But after all that's happened
Was it all just a ploy?

They say true love's course
Easy is not
But when you said those three words
Did your fingers tie a knot?

Unknowing, I pressed on
Testing our fate
Only to hear you say
The dreadful word, "Wait."

Nothing is clear now
Perhaps it's never been
All the while, though, my light?
Not once gone dim.

I try to tell others
That for them I've felt the same
But when I try to say theirs,
I can only speak your name.

A peice of myself,
That's what remains
In the memories we share
I lie anchored in chains.

I'm a willing prisoner though,
I freedman, not a slave
The walls that surround me
Carve out a happy man's grave.

There have been tombs in the past, though
That now are ressurection sites
Perhaps that's why, for our love,
My soul still fights.

Many places have my eyes wandered,
But on this path I have always been
And even now, if I cover it,
My light will not grow dim.
