I saw a dancing sparkle in the stream beside the path. I stopped to watch it jump and play, cavorting in its bath. It turned my thoughts to ones of you, your smiling, playful ways: Flirting lightly, ever thoughtful, brightening all my days.
If I could love you as I want, I’d run to join you now. I’d hold you in my arms all night and never let you go. You make my heart beat faster, love, this truth I can’t deny. If I said I don’t care for you, the world would hear me lie.
The sparkle leaps and makes its way without a hesitation, it fastens my attention here, alone in meditation, And sends my thoughts so many miles to find your smiling face impressed upon my memory, which starts my heart to race.
Love denied’s a wrenching thing, it makes me want to cry, it breaks my heart and tears my soul and causes me to lie. There is a claim upon my heart which came before we met. I cannot break the vow I made to love I can’t regret.
To have two loves would seem to be a wonder in this life. Instead two loves can wrench the heart and cause a breaking strife. A human heart cannot endure when torn between the two, it aches and breaks and loses ground deciding what to do.
A sparkle fades in setting sun, I hurried on my way to meet the love which holds me here. I love him, so I stay.
