The Forest

I was walking through the grass that night
I was so excited
I was thrilled to be invited on this path

I brushed the flowers as I passed them
And I sang a silent anthem
Hoping you would know my story by my song

And as the forest fanned around me
And its creatures crawled out slowly
The wind was whispering that I belonged

When I saw you
When I saw you did you see me too

You were hiding 'hind a redwood
Being braver still than I could
Wondering if you would if I would make a move

Through the distance I could feel you
Through the greenery you peered through
And my longing to be near you made me weak

Your silhouette glowed silver
'Neath the moon (I could have killed her
For the beauty she put just outside my reach)

When I knew you
When I knew you did you know me too

Heavy droplets on my eyelids
As we lay under the sky did
We think that we could hide it from the rain?

Your cheeks in salty fetters
Granted Mother Earth knew better
And soon enough we let her have her way

We parted full and empty
But the courage your arms lent me
And the memory were plenty for me to say

When I loved you
When I loved you

Oh and I know you would've answered if I'd only asked you
I know you would've answered if I'd only asked you
When I loved you
When I loved you, did you love me too
