A Step Away

Open my eyes,
To blinding light,
As the darkness dies,
In the dead of the night.

This fire,
Lighting my way,
All my hope and desire,
Is just a step away.

And you don't even know,
That you live in my dreams,
Where your face always glows,
And your smile always gleams.

I want to be with you,
Live together,
Faith in you has grew,
And I want it to last forever.

You probably don't feel the same,
I am but a friend,
You don't want to play that game,
And only friendly love you will lend.

Yet I long,
To hold you for awhile,
Is it so wrong,
To want to make you smile?

And this fire,
Lighting my way,
All my hope and desire,
Is just a step away.

And you don't even know,
That you live in my dreams,
Where your face always glows,
And your smile always gleams.

I will wait,
A life time if I must,
And defy all the hate,
Just to earn your trust.

I will face suppression,
For all they may misconstrue,
A life's lesson.
To prove my love to you.
