Awaiting Dreams

Who needs to feel that way
Who needs those words to say
Who wants to give their heart
To watch love fade away
Cause I made up my mind
I didnt wanna know
Why should i find a love
That isnt here to stay


I wasnt waiting until you came along
And now i need you to tell me
where my heart belongs


I've seen the tears they cry
When its time for goodbye
I didnt wanna be the one who's asking why


I didnt think that i would ever feel so strong
but now i know that i was wrong

I love you

I love you…
not only for what you are
but for what i am
when i am with you

i love you
not only for what
you have made of yourself
but for what
you are making of me

i love you because
you are helping me to make
of the lumber of my life
not a tavern
but a temple of
my everyday, not a reproach
but a song

i love you
for the part of me
that you bring out

i love you
for putting your hand
into my heaped-up heart
and passing over
all those foolish weak things
that you can not help
dimly seing there
and for drawing out
into the light
all the beautiful belongings
that no one else has hooked
quite far enough to find

i love you
because you have done
more than any creed
could have done
to make me good
and more than any fate
could have done
to make me happy

you have done it,
without a touch
without a word
without a sign
you have done it
by being yourself

perhaps that is what
being a friend
means after all.
