Step by Step

Year by year.
Step by step.

Heartbeats I miss.
Words I don't hear.

Smiles I won't kiss.
Tears I won't wash.

Fingers on fingers.
Prayers for us.

Eyes on eyes.
The touch of a nose.

Soft as you are.
Tough as life is.

I walk to your feet.
Where I rest my head.

I kiss the air.
The air you blessed.

You didn't exist.
Now you're all there is.

I need your weight.
I need your scent.
I need your skin.
I need your voice.

Bite me dead.
Hug me alive.

Cuddle me warm.
Scold me frozen.

Ask me insanity.
Grant me peace.

Give me a hand.
Let me give you two.

Keep me dreaming.
Keep me awake.

Make me hope.
Have me despair.

Let me feel you're next to me.
As the horizon's between us.

Let no time kill our love.
Let our love survive the wars.

Let your eyes laugh into mine.
Let your ears look into mine.

Let every year go by.
Let every day wake us up.
Let every life be ours.
Let every minute count the times we breath.
