The Fire Between Us

You are the fire - And I am the hand That wants to hold you But burns You are the river - And I The stone That breaks the waves But is shaped By every touch How do I love you Without breaking How do I come close Without drowning But still - I reach for you With burning hands Still - I call your name In the water Because you - Are the fire I want to hold The sea I want to cross I have kissed The sky Searching for you But it gives me Only rain I have held My breath - Waiting for you In the wind How do I trust you When you are A storm How do I follow you When you lead me Into darkness But still - I reach for you With burning hands Still - I call your name In the water Because you - Are the fire I want to hold The sea I want to cross If love means To burn - Then burn me God If love means To drown - Then let me drown In you Still - I reach for you Still - I call And if I burn And if I drown - Let it be Because of love Because of love
