At First Sight and Forever After

If I give you my heart tonight
Please take good care of it
If I trust you with my light
Please don't take advantage of it

If I have spent a lifetime in pain
Then it might take some time for me
To trust another person again
And see what we can be

What are other people like
What do people do
How do others live their lives
I really have no clue

I watch you walk, laugh and smile
Live life with such ease
I haven’t been happy for a while
Despite my efforts to please

Look at what I have become
Look at what you've made me
For the first time, you're the only one
Who for the first time has made me see

Look how my heart pulses for you
Even while the world drips grey
Look how we've found something new
Saved each other in different ways

I never lived until I met you
I wish I could let you go
I never hurt until I loved you
You're the most exquisite pain I know

If I give you my heart on that night
I hope that things go well
Though I haven't met you yet
I hope that someday I shall
