What it means to be in love

Only in the dark can the stars truly shine

When I blow out the candles I know that you're mine.

It was only in darkness that I came to know the light

So I looked up from my wallowing and now you're in my sights.

One has to love fiercely to die from a broken heart

And I die almost instantly whenever we are apart.

A rise is a rose even if it is black

For you I would pick every one and bring them all back.

I'm giving you the power to destroy me but trusting you not to

I do this because I love and would do anything for you.
