What's Ours

Run with me to where the woods grow silent
And the chattering winds cease...

Sigh with me under the cover-branches
While brother moon paints light on my irises for you

My heart beat rests in your arms

I'll give my beauty to your strength and we'll watch them dance together
On the dirt of our expectations and the dust of my mother's fears

Somehow I know we'll find out what it means to be alive beneath this ancient roof

I won't look away, love - I'll be brave for you...
You'll find the pathway to my soul traced on my tear-stained face

I think the thing I'm most afraid of is falling into you, with no way out
This mixing will bind us together in ways we cannot peer into yet

You know this is irreversible, don't you?
That we'll die in this room before we open the door?

My forever etches itself onto your fingers,
While your thoughts weave themselves through my hair

What's yours is mine forever, love
And what's mine is now always

Yours.
