Oh why can't he see my soul is pure?
Like a dove, loyal and deserving of belonging…
A heart screams out, "I am yours forever more Sir."
Please allow me my heart's desire and walk with me through destiny's door…
I dream of becoming yours for all time,
A privilege and honor,
Will it be mine?
You have the power to make all my dreams come true…
Do you love me enough?
I wish I knew.
Days run into months and my heartstrings tug ever harder…
I vowed not to push, but my heart feels so blue,
Tonight I cried, for if you only knew the sadness I feel,
The feeling of being in limbo, or just being explored…
Never quite knowing what the future will hold,
This ache rips through me, right to my core.
So all I can do is show you my love.
Do my best to give all I have
Which is so easy…my love.
I hope that someday your heart will open up,
That you will fully trust in us,
Drink from devotions cup.
The ones that have hurt you, or you them…
Is this the price I am paying?
When will it end?
This eagles nest is so high,
I wish I were not a little dove,
As to it, I would fly…
With wings so light I would come to rest,
Upon my Eagles heart,
Passing this invisible test.
But not a word has been spoken of dreams that could be so bright…
So this dove waits in darkness, never in light…
A caged little bird who only wants to fly,
To drink of loves promise and soar by his side.
The eagle watches over her and his nest
But what he does not see are the tears on her breast.
Tears of longing that only he can dry,
If only his heart would allow him to fly.
