Burning Embers

Were we ready, who’s to say the answer?

Who is ever ready for these things?

No one could prepare us for the laughter

No one could prepare us for the pain

You feel like burning embers

You feel like coming home

You feel like my forever

And that’s all I need/want/have to know

Every night I ask for your forgiveness

In grown up skin I still act like a child

I can make believe that I am flawless

You’re close enough to see the cracks I hide

You have caused me tears of joy relentless

I cannot now imagine life without

I owe you more than humble words could confess

I love you more than I even know how

You feel like burning embers

You feel like coming home

You feel like my forever

And that’s all I need to know

You feel like Christmas morning

You feel like summer rain

You feel like holy waters

That rinse away my stains

You feel like children singing

You feel like midnight calm

You feel like breathing deeply

Until the storm is gone
