I Used to Guard My Heart
I used to guard my heart and mind,
Behind a cleverly crafted disguise,
But found that it would disintegrate,
Each time I met your eyes.
You taught me how to trust again,
And remove my flawless facade.
Found myself falling faster,
With each new memory we made.
The fact that you love me still,
And forgive all my past mistakes,
Makes me want to prove I loveyou,
Regardless of what it takes.
If I could I rearrange the stars,
Using only the ones most bright,
And write 'I love you' in the stars,
To shine through the darkest night.
And if a raindrop meant 'I love you",
I'd give you the infinite blue sea.
And if a minute meant 'I need you',
I'd give you all of eternity.
But I can't rearrange the stars,
Nor give you the ocean or infinity,
So I suppose you'll just have to believe it,
When I confess how much you mean to me.
