Echoes of Angels

You dream the hours to pass Until you can feel this love again And in this one sided world you feel The light against your fragrant skin And in this moment You finally realize that Love was here, and it’s in your arms   In the middle of the night A mare comes to scare you But I save you from your dreams that won’t come true And in my eyes your tears subside And bring the beauty that I lay awake to see   It’s the way you smile when you sleep Just knowing that I am next to you It’s the way my heart beats So hard it pounds right through you It’s the way your eyes look in mine I cant help but look back…   The echoes of angels Keep you awake sometimes With the memories of dreams long gone But the endless ageing And the sunless hours Bring out the demons of everyone’s pasts   Keep alive the fire inside you For this love won’t be the death of us I know it scares you Because it scares me too But I know you and me are something that just wont break   And every morning I wake So much better than I was when I was asleep I smile so bright into your eyes You wake up just to see me alive   It’s the way you smile when you sleep Just knowing that I am next to you It’s the way my heart beats So hard it pounds right through you It’s the way your eyes look in mine I can’t help but look back…   I know sometimes you can’t help but cry But you know I do my best to stop your tears And when the drops of heaven subside I will be hear to heal your wounds Take the trials from your life And you wouldn’t be the same So strong and powerful So right and vulnerable And in my eyes I see yours, so beautiful   I know love scares you Because it scares me too

Stunning

This is absolutely beautiful. Emotional, caring, flows like a dream and extremely well written. The best lines for me are:- Keep alive the fire inside you For this love won’t be the death of us I know it scares you Because it scares me too But I know you and me are something that just wont break I can relate to this so closely. Stunning work. Kaz It's impossible to smile on the outside without feeling better on the inside.
