back & forth & in between, like my emotion

This makes me think of you.

Thank you.

We're part of a tragedy

living our stories

searching for hope

and not sure of our wanderings.

Beautiful roses

full of thorns

Shining sunflowers

scared of the storms.

It's good to know

that even when I make you sad

you won't go.

And the truth is

I would have let you leave;

closed the door to my heart

it only swings one way

that would have been it

back to the start

but you wouldn't let me leave.

There we were in the car

for hours on end

spitting out frustration

and not giving in.

My heart was breaking

though I wanted to pretend.

You become so honest

you stare your fears in the face

and I make you a promise

that I won't let you leave.

Another day painted over with His white grace

angry words

defeated pride

sullen souls

and tired minds

He brings water for our dry

He brings truth to our lies.

Whether it's wrong or right

love is teaching

love is changing

and love reminds me

the Lord turns my darkness into light.

We never have to leave.
