...i want to steal you....

i want to steal you
right out of the mundane
take you to paris, greece,
germany and spain.

i want to steal you
take some extraordinary
adventure in thailand,
exotic...like new dehli.

i want to steal you
- watch you grow
in far off places
like maybe monaco.

i want to steal you
away, let you shine
walk by the thames,
the danube and rhine.

i want to steal you
find a place for you and me
to explore and create
-- a place where we can dream.

...missing you...

...i miss you...
...your kindness soothes the harshness that ravages...
...your gentleness eases the brutality of the world...
...when no one else is sweet, you stand and whisper aching beauty...
...the further you move away from me, the closer you are to my heart...
...in darkness, i remember your light...
...your laughter like peeling bells of hope...
...moving something deeper in me than I knew how to find...
...shaking the earth beneath my feet with a look, a touch...a word....
...memories of you are more than wisps, they are statues of unshakable stone...
...what no one understood, we have love...
...what no one can really see, we are free...
...what i wish you'd bring back...
...and i miss you...

...like she'd swallowed broken glass...

...sometimes she missed him so much it felt like she'd swallowed broken glass....

...open heart, open eyes....

...my heart is open, looking around not down or in. endings, beginnings are all wrapped up into one....my eyes and heart are wide open...

...remembering...

...i have not thought about that night in a long time. until it was mentioned again this weekend. everything came flooding back. i can feel the weight of my heart in those precious moments. is this going to portend the coming weeks? my heartbeat is erratic again...

...after busy nights....

...tonight was busy, full, exciting and exhilarating. i love serving God and i love the aftermath of nights like tonight. but it does make me miss you. crawling into a bed alone, or sitting on the couch alone to tune out a bit, I just wish I could rest my head on your shoulder and have your arms around me for a little while. after nights like tonight, i wish you were here...

...words i can't shake...

Prince: 
Do I love you because you're beautiful, or are you beautiful because I love you?
Am I making believe I see in you a girl too lovely to be really true?
Do I want you because you're wonderful, or are you wonderful because I want you?
Are you the sweet invention of a lover's dream or are you really as beautiful as you seem?

Cinderella:
Am I making believe I see in you a man too perfect to be really true?
Do I want you because you're wonderful, or are you wonderful because I want you?
Both: Are you the sweet invention of a lover's dream or are you really as wonderful as you seem?








I'm not a huge fan of Brandy's voice on this but I like the Tenor. :) Beautiful.
