Candle in the Window

There's never a rule for who or how to love. And even if there were, rules are meant to be broken

I count my blessings,

And the first one is you,

The only one who could break through

These walls I’ve erected

In the name of protection

Not knowing myself

That it was a deception

 

The look in your eyes

Is all I need to feel at home

And when you hold me so tight

It’s like I’ve never felt alone

These tears I shed

They’re a different kind

Each much more potent than these words

All carefully rhymed

 

The smell of you on my pillow as I lay

The sweet memory of you lay laughing beneath me

Keeps all the nightmares and phobias away

I yearn for your touch

To be held in your arms once more

This strange new-old love for you

It speaks to my very core

 

This new type of love,

I know I’ll constantly have to fight for

But stay by my side, mo chridhe,

There’s nothing I want more
