A voice so deep
Eyes so sweet
How can I abolish my need
to let him my heart feed?
Even now I have a fear
that he would be quick to start a tear
He might tell me lies
All the while my heart he denies
But then when I see him
My soul is reminded of the sweet seraphim
He is an angel in his own right
And whenever he comes into sight
All my fears evaporate
He must be one hot date!
But then, I must pull back.
Knowledge of his own opinion, I lack.
Where do I go to from here?
To him do I keep going near?
This is uncharted territory for me
What he and I may turn out to be
But as I close my eyes
think of what in him lies
I see in him a sweet spirit
My own insecurity keeps me away from it
Am I going too fast or too slow
If I make wrong move will he become a foe?
And then, my heart reminds me
Of all the love in life I see
Eve if things fall through with him
I will never catch myself out on a limb.
Love is what makes me move
Like a warm fire, it can soothe.
Not just love for him but love for all
Love for God, and I won't fall
And I begin to trust again
My heart knows no pain.
For I love him honestly
This love is definitely to be
It's to help him know
To help him grow
And because of that fact
Sad I will never act.
And I am finally secure.
