I love the time

and inbetween

the calm inside me in the space

where I can breathe



I believe there is a distance

I have wandered to touch upon the years of

reaching out

and reaching in

holding out

holding in.



I believe

this is heaven

to no one else but me

and I'll defend it as long as

I can be

left here to linger

in silence

if I

choose to

would you

try to

understand.



I know this love

is passing time

passing through like liquid

I am drunk in my desire

but I love the way you smile at me

I love the way your hands reach out and

hold me near..



I believe..



I believe

this is heaven

to no one else but me

and I'll defend it as long as

I can be

left here to linger

in silence

if I

choose to

would you

try to

understand.



Oh the quiet child

awaits the day

when she can break free

the mold that clings like desperation.



Mother

can't you see I've got to

live my life the way I feel is

right for me

might not be right for you but it's

right for me..



I believe...



I believe

this is heaven

to no one else but me

and I'll defend it as long as

I can be

left here to linger

in silence

if I

choose to

would you

try to

understand it.



I would

like to

linger

here in

silence

if I

choose to

would you

try to

understand...
