A Quiet Demure




I won’t be a burden
Baggage stacked to the sky
I don’t need to be your world
You’d sense the reasons why

I don’t need to touch you
Just want to feel the motion of your twirl
I just want to sense your love
keeping real world hope alive 

Would I wish to want you?
You know the reasons why
Could I be your whole world?
Should I shyly run and hide?

Could I wait forever?
Even if I tried?
Just as a casual observer
Seen from the corner of your eyes

Won’t you come and wipe away
the many tears I’ve cried?
Must my heart stay broken?
Now that most of the fears have died?

Can’t you hear my heart beat?
Feel the rhythms of my love’s flow
I will wait forever here
just to feel your heart and soul…
