Back T o Your Heart
By: Kellryn
It’s not that I can’t live without you
It’s just that I don’t even want to try
Every night I dream about you
Ever since the day we said goodbye
It has been a year since I last saw you. A year where the Earth and the colonies have enjoyed a peace like no other. People no longer live in fear. They can finally embrace life and live it to the fullest. Finally people are free to enjoy a life that the war so rudely interrupted.
If I wasn’t such a fool
Right now I’d be holding you
There’s nothin’ that I wouldn’t do
Baby if I only knew
I have tried to enjoy the peace that the five of us fought for. I have tried so hard to live a life that the war stole from me. It is of no use, though. I find myself thinking of you every waking hour and dreaming of you every night. Now after a year apart, a year without your arms to comfort me, a year where you were not there to talk or listen to me, we will finally get to see each other again. The five of us are getting together to reminisce and see how we have adapted to a peaceful world.
CHORUS:
The words to say
The road to take
To find a way back to your heart
What can I do
To get to you
And find a way back to your heart
I don’t know how it got so crazy
But I’ll do anything to set things right
‘Cause your love is so amazing
Baby you’re the best thing in my life
Let me prove my love is real
And made you feel the way I feel
I promise I would give the world
If only you would tell me
My heart stops when you walk into the room looking almost as you did when I last saw you. I force my legs to work and slowly walk over to you. You glance at me and start up with casual and idle conversation. We talk for a few minutes until a deathly silence fills the space between us. You excuse yourself and drift over to the others to talk with them. How can I possibly get you back if I can not even carry on a simple conversation with you. I watch and listen to you the entire evening. I feel like I am loosing you all over again.
Give me one more chance, to give my love to you
‘Cause no one on this Earth loves you like I do, tell me
No, I can not loose you. I can not let you go, not ever again. Not when you are everything to me. I must somehow swallow my fears and my pride and tell you all that is in my heart.
CHORUS:
The words to say
The road to take
To find a way back to your heart
What can I do
To get to you
And find a way back to your heart
I don’t know how it got so crazy
But I’ll do anything to set things right
‘Cause your love is so amazing
Baby you’re the best thing in my life
Let me prove my love is real
And made you feel the way I feel
I promise I would give the world
If only you would tell me
I manage to corner you on the balcony, but the words just will not come forth. You look at me and a very small smile lights up your face. I find my courage in that smile of yours. I close the few feet that separate us and enfold you in my arms. I hold you the way you once held me. As your arms come up around me, I bury my head in the crook of your neck and tell you everything that is in my heart. You pull away and I think that I have truly lost you this time, but instead of leaving, you tilt my chin up to look into your eyes. You just stare at me with that piercing gaze of yours and finally nod your head once.
I turn back time
To make you mine
And find a way back to your heart
I beg and plead
Fall to my knees
To find a way back to your heart
A slow smile tugs at my lips. why did I wait so long to tell you how I felt? If I had told you a year ago, maybe we would not have drifted apart. Of course none of that matters now. Now that we hold each other, staring into each other's eyes. We both see and feel the love that we harbor for each other. Finally, I have the strength to say what I have always longed to say to you.
“Duo, I love you with all of my heart and soul.”
