If I place my heart in your hand will you keep it safe for me?
Will you cherish, love and protect it and treat it compassionately?
I trusted another with its keep, once a long time ago,
He mishandled it... dropped it and broke it... fortunately, not irreparably so.
I picked it up and took it home and hid it away for awhile,
It was so damaged... nearly destroyed... very sensitive and fragile.
I was able to put it back together, but it has never been the same,
It's still too fragile to trust to anyone, who plays an unfair game.
It's way to delicate to be mistreated, or tossed to and ‘fro,
And until I met you, my friend, I was afraid to let it go.
I'm beginning to think it is possible, to expose it again- to love,
If the person that I entrust it with treats it gently.... like a dove.
Although it appears the same as all others, it's from a special lot,
It may not seem distinctive to you, but it's the only one I've got.
So, are you able to keep my heart safe? I know it's a lot to ask,
Be honest, if you can't promise at this time ....you may not desire the task.
I'll just keep hoping the time will come... all good things usually do.
I've learned to be patient, and I'll recognize the moment...
I should give my heart to you.

You who makes my heart sing
who makes me smile in the darkest of times
you who brings joy to the saddest of days
why are you not here?
You who make me feel so very special
who brings the most amazing things into view
who takes away all thoughts of fear and pain
why are you not here?
Where are you when i need you
why can't you hear me call
why can i not reach out and touch you
why are you not here?
you who are my everything
who brings everything into focus
who never lets me fall
why are you not here?
Even in my dreams I can't escape

If I could choose a memory to visit at will,
If I could move through time or make it stand still,
If I could be anyplace, anytime, anywhere,
I would fashion a heaven and have you be there.
The time we shared I will always treasure.
To see you again, I would trade any pleasure.
To feel your embrace or the warmth of your smile,
I would pay any price, I would face any trial.
Life is so short but we learn this too late.
If love comes again I won't hesitate.
I'll open my heart to the new love I've found,
But your memory within will remain safe and sound.
