Hear your voice on the wind
See your face in every picture
Flooding down like oceans tide
Those feelings, deep inside

With all the innocence of beauty
About her shining eyes
Flocking to the heavens
She is my angel, denied

I force myself to believe
Heed my own advice
And bite the bullet
Take that step into life

Reach forward and embrace
That cold hard nature
That is the truth of my being
My feelings cannot be shorn

I must do this...

So as a new day begins
In her soft winter sleep
With half-words whispered
I make the promise to myself

To take that step and reveal
My truth, to her
Gleaming as a emerald
If only that were so

But I must be…

Silenced at the touch
Mellowed to the tender light
One shade more, one ray less
Stolen from within

For she cannot be mine
Too many complications
Understatement
Cruel fate that denies
Such sweet tenderness
From me

She cannot be mine...
