My life changed forever,
One year to this very day…

I needed to tell you,
Knowing that you could not stay,
Knowing that there would be ‘what could have beens’,
Not knowing what I would say.

We were walking side by side,
And time was slowing down.
You were all I could see,
Your voice, the only sound.

My heart pounded so hard,
I could no longer keep it in.
I took a leap of faith,
And told you everything.

There was something that I felt,
Don’t ask me how, but I knew,
My life would change forever,
The night I first kissed you.

More Than This

For a second of your life,
Tell me that it’s true, 
waiting for a sign,
It’s all I want of you. 
Your heart hides a secret,
“A promise of what is” 
Or something more than this…

Just a second of your time
Any one will do
The taste of any other
Is all I want from you
Offer me the world,
And how can I resist
Something more than this…

Make-believe in magic,
Make-believe in dreams,
Make-believe in possible,
Nothing as it seems,
To see, touch, taste, smell, hear,
But never know if it’s real…

For a second of your life,
Tell me if it’s true,
Anywhere beyond,
Is all I want of you.
On your lips lies a secret,
“The promise of a kiss”
…Or something more than this?

Just a second of your time,
Any one will do,
To know of any other,
Is all I want from you.
Giving me the world,
Know I can’t resist,
Something more than this…

Make-believe in magic,
Make-believe in dreams,
Make-believe in possible,
Nothing as it seems,
And never really understand,
What anything means…

Another second of my life,
not knowing if it’s true,
Make-believe in nothing,
It’s all I want of you.
Whisper me the secret,
Whisper me “There is,
Always something other,
Something more than this…”
