Nights awake
A poet with no voice
When I was young, I read your name
And since then, I couldn't forget
Years later, more than a decade
Destiny happened, and we have met
Not like anyone does
It was only one way
I saw your face every day
As silently as I now must
I've spent the days in my spare time
Watching your steps, learning your style
Trying to impress, getting your attention
Not making it obvious, arranging an occasion
When I am awake, I think about you
During the night, I barely sleep
When that happens, the dreams are so true
Bodies aflame, enjoying the heat
I spend nights awake!
The first time I caught your sight
It's under control, I will make it right
When I heard your voice, it was like a song
Sung by someone I've known for so long
This is our day, I'll feel your grace
It is the first time you see my face
But you have no idea how long before
You were a world that I had to explore
My hand matched yours, like your glove
Our lips they touched, in an act of love
When we stared closer, you started to cry
For you've never seen shiny eyes like mine
When I am awake, I think about you
During the night, I barely sleep
When that happens, the dreams are so true
Bodies aflame, enjoying the heat
I spend nights awake!
Not a fairy tale, but is hard to believe
That among many others, your choice was me
We've got each other, nothing else will matter
Because as one, our life gets better
We now make plans, choose our wedding rings
The style of our home, the name of the kids
Do you want a boy? Anyone will be
Loved and cared, more than a part of me
After days together, our bond ties strong
In hotel rooms, in the car on the road
Our own desires, we shall always please
I waited my whole life for times like these
When I am awake, I think about you
During the night, I barely sleep
When that happens, the dreams are so true
Bodies aflame, enjoying the heat
I spend nights awake!
I'm still in pain when we say goodbye
Holding my breath, waiting for the time
We'll be together, but it's never enough
No matter how much, I still will suffer
I live by you, but you have more than me
You've got your friends, your family
You have a full life, so much to live
And I'll be in the dark every time you leave
I'm a dead weight, lying on your shoulder
Impossible to lift up, heavy like a boulder
I'm so low in energy, yours I had to borrow
And suffocated you under my tears of sorrow
When I am awake, I think about you
During the night, I barely sleep
When that happens, the dreams are so true
Bodies aflame, enjoying the heat
I spend nights awake!
I became too much, poisoned your life
You stepped away, won't be my wife
Evenings are empty, my screams not heard
Still there is heat, but now they hurt
When I am awake, I think about you
During the night, I barely sleep
When that happens, the dreams are so true
Bodies aflame, enjoying the heat
I spend nights awake!
When I am awake, I think about you
During the night, I barely sleep
When that happens, the dreams are so true
Bodies aflame, enjoying the heat
I spend nights awake
