I thought I saw your face within the light. 
And felt the walls around my heart grow thin;
As if something closed for such a long, long time,
Was slowly opening from the quietest part of me.

To fall in love is not to lose the ground,
But sink into a depth both fierce and sweet;
Where silence speaks with more than spoken sound,
And two slow heartbeats learn at last to meet.

For life is deep, I know, I’ve traced its shade,                                          
Its endless questions circling like the sea;
Yet in your arms no part of me is afraid
To drown, for drowning there feels being free.

If loving means to give my soul away,
Then giving it to you is how I stay.
