Passion and Innocence

Only a kiss,
a soft and passionate kiss
Can such an intense passion be so innocent?
I believe, yet long to know.
Just to hold you in my arms,
Just to hold you close to my heart.
To hold you and never let go,
such would curb the desires of my soul.

But you must leave now,
I know you must go.
please...
...let me hold you once more.
For a day is such a long time
and yet a moment last for years.

To see you smile,
To hear your voice,
To feel your touch,
To know your love.
Can it be true,
Can you love someone like me?

Shall i awake,
or continue dreaming?
I choose to continue dreaming
only if i will never wake.
For me living is dying
and sleeping is life eternal.

What then shall i do?
Shall i wait patiently
or pursue reckless abandon?
If i choose patience,
does that make me wise
or does it make me a coward?
I care not what the world thinks
or even what i think.
For my heart is my judge
and my soul is its jury.

Therefore, do not hold against me,
That which i cannot control,
and do not fear
That which you do not understand.
For my heart is pure
and my soul crys out
For the angel of my dreams
that can save me from my doom.
