LILIES IN MAY

LILIES IN MAY

There she goes running through my mind again,

Thoughts of her pour into my heart like a summer’s rain,

Hopeless am I at catching her eye,

Helpless am I at ever letting her know how high,

I get when think of her name,

Loneliness and me, we’re all the same,

If only she knew that I write these words for her,

Maybe the beginning of two hearts colliding would occur,

If only I could inspirit in her a vision to see,

That within this character there’s another side to me,

One that knows what love is,

I can show her, this I promise,

I know she’s been hurt before,

But he’s gone and someone else is standing outside her door,

I will take things slow,

Plant the seed and let it grow,

It’s a chance worth taking,

It’s a step worth making,

There’s no guarantees that it won’t wither away,

Just the same it could always bloom as vivid as the lilies in May,

Far am I from her thoughts I am sure,

But what if she knew that I write these words for her?
