Love is defying

I turn over in bed and I feel my heart beating Faster,
I stare out the window and think I might Scream.

And I could tell you that you're all I ever Wanted,
Dear I could utter every word you'd ever
Hope to hear.
I shudder when I think that I might
Not be here forever

And I'd be lying if I said that I didn't find it
Exciting, your eyes so lit, your face so warm and
Inviting.

I could tell you that I'm always going to love
You like Christ that night, but
I'd be lying.
Love is defying.

All I can think is that my heart must be a kind of Rebellion,
To arm these fields like soldiers and felon.

I can tell you that you're all I ever wanted dear,
Through the din of your breathing while you're
Sleeping here, and you wake and you ask me if I'm
Going to be here forever.

Your face so twisted and your eyes alight,
I want to tell you I can save you when you cry at night.
But I'll be trying.
Love is defying.
