6+1=7

How it is
That when your lips meet mine
it all seems right
I'll forever fail to know

I can ask all I'd like
If love is real
but this emotion
whatever it is
I will always feel

Somehow the moon
erases any reality
we had achieved before
and my mind is in a dream
Over and over
Bob Dylan's sweet words
Sing away in my head

Your hands are warm
But our hearts are warmer
I hope that I'm not
slowly destroying myself
by letting go
and trusting

I can't see the color
of your crystal blue eyes
in the dark
but I know they are there
and I stare back

Our shadows look right
engraved on the pavement

You take my hand
for the first time
for not another soul
had tried it before
and I thank you silently
for being the first
because I wouldn't have wanted it
any other way

perhaps the reason
why I am so content
is because I feel like
nothing could go wrong
for once

my doubts are floating away
into the clear dark sky
to rest on the handle
of the shiny big dipper

Maybe that song wasn't for me
But I can pretend it was
and when I'm old and gray
I can remember
The time you told me the secret to life

Well darling, I haven't reached the answer yet
but I'm laying them down
one by one
living in the moment
where I always was
with you
like you'd wanted it

And when the stars
begin "falling slowly"
from the sky
I'll grab the one
with your eyes in it
and keep it in my pocket
for a rainy day

I used to believe
that I was on my own
but I soon discovered that
this world is much better
with another soul
by your side because
"It's so nice to have someone to hold"
I know

I find myself
becoming content knowing
that you will be the first
to break this little heart
And I can now
convince myself that you
most certainly can and will

A part of me
wants to be able to say someday
that you were the first I actually fell for
And the first to actually break me

For can't you see?
I'm so fragile in your arms
Although I make it out to be otherwise
I wish you could see that its true

Be you javert, mr.cellophane or lumier
I'll love you forever
Even after you rip me to shreds
Because despite the hate and hurt
I will always feel after that
I'll remember you
On purpose
And keep that love
I felt for so...so long.
