Ten

At long last....number ten...

I feel like this one ended more abruptly than I planned - victim of severe cuts that were made because I felt it was moving in too many directions at once. Maybe I can salvage some of the cut material into something different. Could take months. haha.

"If you asked me"

I guess I wanted to be the hero for you,
My imagination tells me, this dream would compel me,
into the man every boy would like to be.
To run into danger’s cold embrace
Through fire, the tongues of red hot flames
And rescue you, whatever trial you were going through

If you had asked me, I’d have said “there’s nothing I won’t do,”
To show the love, the depth of love, that I had for you
To be honest though, we both know - only God knows if it’s true.
Is there really anything I would not have done…if you asked me to…

I guess I thought it would be harder than this,
we’ve been given so much, we could have done much with less,
Say it’s different now, I know I can’t complain,
Everything that’s come our way, molds and shapes us like potters clay,
Though I may not be the knight I dreamed I’d be,
I’ve still got these words that I would say…

If you had asked me, I’d have said “there’s nothing I won’t do,”
To show the love, the depth of love, that I had for you
To be honest though, we both know - only God knows if it’s true.

Don’t know why I would have thought it would be easier than this.
The challenges we have faced have been more than I guessed.
Say it’s different now, I guess I was naïve
Thinking it would be easier every day, I should not be deceived so easily.
Shed those tears, cry those cries, this will not go away
We’ve come these miles, won’t you walk a bit further with me.

If you had asked me, I’d have said “there’s nothing I won’t do,”
To show the love, the depth of love, that I had for you
To be honest though, we both know - only God knows if it’s true.

If you had asked me…but you didn’t ask me,
Things didn’t quite go that way. It’s a bit different now,
We don’t know why, we may not know how, but it’s different now,
Most things move on and they’re never quite the same,
But we know love, and that’s always the same.

If you asked me, but you didn’t ask me…
And you didn’t have to.
