They told me that love is like a fire, burning bright
but I think it's like a circle - if there is no break in the circle,
it will go on forever and so will we.
--------
(I)
Hearts scribbled on pieces of paper,
his initials in block letters, rose red
the shade of passion each petal,
an eternal example of euphoria
and his promise.
It is no wonder his initials spell S.L.Y,
for he found his way into my heart
as if a burglar, he broke through walls,
security spent years trying to barricade.
Started as sensual, just a touch of lips
and then, something vibrated inside of me
and I started to believe.
(II)
I was never the type of girl to dream
of wedding dresses and pickered fences,
but when he called my name, I changed;
now my sighs seek reunion
and 'will you take me forevers' make,
an important appearance, never expected
to be brought to tears by declaration of love.
(III)
I am finally the girl innocence tore from me again,
wanting pretty ribbons in her hair and flowers in her dreams
and that's thanks to loves spell upon my once broken heartbeat.
His whispers of 'you're safe now' and 'you're beautiful to me' -
they saved me from the madness of the cruelty of the past
and lead me to the door of missed opportunity.
(IV)
He made life worth living, in simple tenderness
and I thank god for oxygen as I could never have enough.
