Bare

Do you remember the day that you met me?
I swear it was yesterday. I knew with a glance
That you were the question and you were the answer
That the world would make sense again if I held your hand
Someday you’ll look back, and I hope you’ll remember
The moment of truth when I knew who I was
How did I learn the truth you gave to me?
I will always remember that first stolen moment:
There you were kissing me, and time seemed to freeze
Now I stand at a crossroad and I stare at a question
If prayer were the answer I’d fall on my knees
But forward is calling and I cannot stay here—
A parting of souls as I try to move on
How do I forget the dream you shared with me?
I’ve never been this bare
I’ve never been so scared
I’ve never felt such honesty
Doubts that will never go away
A moment of such peace
Each of us standing bare
Knowing what you mean to me
Knowing who we have to be
Know as you hold my hand
I hope and pray
That you’ll understand
We’re forever, you and I…
I know you’re here in my heart
Please understand that I tried
Try to see it’s not goodbye
The act is beginning, the audience’s waiting
No, stay in this moment, where secrets reveal
Here in a world where there’s safety in falsehood
I have discovered the one thing that’s real
That I love you and I loved you from the start
And if you hold that close to you, we’ll never be apart
Peter, please know I loved you…
God, I love you
From the start
