"If we want hell,
if we want heaven,
they are ours.
That's how love works. It can't be forced, manipulated, or coerced.
It always leaves room for the other to decide" ~ Rob Bell
~ The Edge of You ~
Infinite and fleeting
time soars and pauses
at the edge of you
it pulls, it nudges
it slips away
at the edge of you
hearts on asphalt
hearts on sleeves
hearts in waiting
at the edge of you
Everlasting and patient
love comes back around
to the edge of you
it touches, it asks
it seeks an answer
at the edge of you
hearts on asphalt
hearts on sleeves
hearts in waiting
at the edge of you
Unforgettable and painful
the past comes back around
to the edge of you
it's buried, it's reborn
it's kept true love at bay
at the edge of you
hearts on asphalt
hearts on sleeves
hearts in waiting
at the edge of you
Courageous and resolute
truth can go either way
at the edge of you
it digs deep, it prods
it's led me full-circle
to the edge of you
hearts on asphalt
hearts on sleeves
gone and buried
or love renewed
hearts in waiting
on that first step
what future unfolds
at the edge of you?
