Embers in the Dark

I know we have a future

But I can't say how or when

One day will we be lovers Or stay the best of friends

Could there be something deeper

That time can't tear apart

A quiet understanding That's written in the heart

The ache I feel when we're far apart Turns minutes into years

But when I see your eyes again It all just disappears

I'm captured in the silence

Between what's said and done

Like standing in the shadow

Of a long-forbidden sun

I don't know how this road will turn

Or what

tomorrow brings

But the story that is left untold

Lives in the songs we sing

No need to rush the rising tide Or force what's meant to

be

Some things grow stronger over time When given time to be

A steady hand, a gentle kiss No promises to bind

Just watching embers in the dark Unfold in their own time

I don't know how this road will turn

Or what

the future holds

But I will take that walk with you

And see

what time unfold
