Say Yes

Say yes, and we could surf the highest waves,
Your hand in mine, never losing faith.
We could climb Mt. Everest, and as we gasp for air,
You'll say you love me,
And I you.

We could do handstands in the sky,
And you'll catch me when I fall.
I'll take you to the stars and leave you in utter awe.
And though standing on a comet with you is absolutely reckless,
Loving you is even more so; but I'm happily helpless.

Say yes, and some days will be not only spring,
But we will endure the harsh days winter will bring.
Together we will face somber rainy days,
But with you by my side we can wait for summer's sunny rays.
We will know what makes each other cringe,
But hey, we'll take it inch by inch.

And though some days you will be too tired to fly with me,
I will heal your broken wings.
'Cause our love will exceed that of the highest degree,
And we will take willingly what life brings.
So say yes,
And take my hand; we will learn to tango.
Every step we will master.

WHAT BROKE YOU?

Was it the love taken and not given
The kindness sent that never returned
Tell me if it were the sweetness of the many laughter and sunshine he radiates around
Making luminous the simple 
Sparkling the bland and warming the glaciers of your heart

What broke you my darling? Tell me.
Was it the waiting for him to sort his feelings?
The confusion from uncertain vibe of what if, when if and how if?
Is it the unspoken truce between your hearts, knowing it will never be?
Certain that the wait will fade, surety that time won't tell.
Was it the icy silence, cold shoulder, gentle message from his reversed feelings that left you lonely and lost in the wait only you fear?

Sure it wasn't that he voiced it? Say it or gave it a word.
Maybe, it was in his not admitting it, not sounding it and never letting you understand, yet meaning it.

What broke you little cherub?
Was it the last act, showing you that love wasn't enough, passion weren't worth it, and trying for days to please him wouldn't change a thing?
Tell me, the gentle hands couldn't calm your nerves, soothe your frayed muscle and help quiet the raging noise in your head.

What broke you my heart?
I hear you reply, it's the pieces that walked away when I finally accepted I'm broken.
