My Heart's Resting Place.

Can you learn to lay beside me?

Can I teach you how it feels

To be more then just a lover

To be less then just a soulmate

Your body is sublime

Your mind just as fascinating

But I don't need your everything

I don't even need your smile

Just the words, "I will"

To leave those cracked lips

And make me realize that in this world

Another person exists.

Just a moment

Just a night

That we can be together

Just for my life

I've never burned a bridge

I haven't wanted to rebuild

I've never felt so alone

I haven't the slightest clue

So please just give me this token

Just give me this gift

A night in the company of another

Would be a night I'd always remember

But amid my lovestruck longing

And my desperate heart's lies

I already know the answer

To this self-defeating wish

I could never lay with someone

Who isn't my beloved

Who I don't want with all my heart

Who I would never care for

So exiled by nature

instead of cruel fate

My heart will wait into the night

For the one I wish to rest against.
