DESIRES OF REALITY
My love for you is deeper- far more than words can explain
The depths of my heart are filled with love-
Like crystal drops of rain...
The time we have together, and for all the time we will-
Our love is a sign of forever, and together it remains still
Sometimes there are troubled paths which we cannot see ahead
All we can do is follow to where the path has led-
--The shouting of our voices, the cries from the heart-
Remain still unheard of; for our love will never part
The words from our mouth, the looks from our eyes,
May not always hide the truth,which loves sometimes denies
There sometime may be other desires far out of our reach
When we grasp to gain their notice, there is a lesson to teach
There may be hidden passions, yet knowing they should not belong
Temptations for another, but not realizing that they are wrong
-Holding on to our true love, but desire to take a chance
Looking into both sets of eyes, but only to take one glance
Passions beyond the horizon-to far to really see
A noticed look at another and feelings that should not be
Once it was two people, brought together by chains of love
One is linked to another, held tight by a force above
Suddenly the chain is broken- a missing link of empty space
Cause by the thought of someone else..guilt moves into place
--A danger sign, a warning, to hold on to what is right
Don't give up on what you already have- a cause to win the fight
--Like rainbows of God's promise and the stars he shines at night
A reminder he sends to us true love, a bond we hold so tight
Yet, when the desire returns again, temptation returns once more-
One of us feels "admired", but the other hurts like times before
You mind and body tell you "yes"- but your heart, it tells you "No"
Already to deep in your desire-for once, your heart lets go.....
The hurt pounds in the others heart and bad feelings take over their pride
Another heart has been broken, a part of your love has died
-Still the other does not yet feel the pain, as if they do not care
See, they do not understand yet of heartache lying there
To one, it means something else- a chance, a new found thrill..
To capture what they desire, to reach and hope to feel--
To the other, it's heartache - reminders or hurt and pain
Of all the suffering they will go through
While you take a chance of what there is to gain
-In all the efforts both have made, one's willing to let the other go free
To satisfy what they desire... if that is what needs to be
The only way to end the passion, is one to finally give in
Alone you fight the battle and hope your love is strong enough to win
People do not realize the price for love is high
So many risks that you must take - still willing to try
When you think of how much you love someone, you hope they feel the same
If they don't, it's all a waste to you and to them, a game
There are questions in you wandering mind with answers you cannot deny
The truth is best if it is told, rather than live truth as a lie
Worry about the future, secrets left untold
Wondering about being faithful, and what does your future hold
--Someone is the desire, the other person is reality
Left with just one chioce, which one of us will it be?
As there is a chioce to make, only one love is true
Desire is the second chioce- the decision is up to you
Doesn't matter what words you say or if tears are in your eyes
What he's been wanting is within reach- he cannot hear your cries
No one can tell you "yes" but you, and only you can tell you "No"
Someday the time will come and you must decide which way you will go
-The desire in your mind makes your fantasy life complete
Even here in reality no one else can compete
--When we wonder about someone else, and only see their face
Living out the desire - someone takes my place
The way you mention another...does your feelings become the same?
Do you rely on their reply to these feeling you can't explain?
--The problem now lies between us, the answers, together we must find
The solution is out there somewhere to bring us peace of mind
God puts two people together-let no other tear them apart
Hold on to each other and let no one steal their heart
Never say it won't happen again-cause it could happen once more
Temptation and desire step in.. just like the time before
Only now we both agree to let all the facts be known
The test of truth can only be proved if the two are left alone
If something happens, you only hope they tell- like both agreed to do
But by keeping it a secret you know your relationship is not yet through-
Could anyone resist..without the time to think about it first?
Only to realize later how you made the situation worse-
Why can't people stop and think before going after what they desire?
Circumstances they must face...how do you fight hell with fire?
-Hope it's not to late when we finally admit-
Hold on to what you have..never give up or quit
True love is a privilege, an honor, a chance
Very few ever do have the privilege of romance
--So if ever you have desires, it may be best to keep them in your mind
Fantasies are not real but real true love is hard to find
....So here in this real world- if your with someone who loves you
But your seeing another's face.....
Remember in reality there is true love...which desires could never replace...
