Clinging to Love

Oh, why does love feel so elusive?

Caught between hope and fear

A silent cry, yearning to break free

Darling, tell me, are you near?

When you joke with me, it feels so real

Every word, every glance, I can feel

Your gaze melting my tired heart

I'm falling deep, right from the start

By your side, I lose control

This tension aching in my soul

All I want, all I need to see

Is you noticing me

Why can't we just make it true?

All I desire is love from you

The longer we delay, the deeper I fall

Loving more, fearing to lose it all

My heart's been waiting, tired and true

Hoping, dreaming just of you

Each moment, clutching tight to hope

Wishing you’d see, how I cope

Oh, my heart is desperate to be free

From this longing, can’t you see?

Every beat calls out your name

Yearning just for your flame

Why can't we just make it true?

All I desire is love from you

The longer we delay, the deeper I fall

Loving more, fearing to lose it all

Am I just a shadow in your sight?

A silent plea in the night

Fear of pain, fear of hurt

But still I cling, I thirst

My feelings count on you

Dreams of us coming through

Just look at me, hold me tight

Make my darkness turn to bright

Because as love goes on, we learn and grow

Hope and fear, but still I love you so
