To Make You Happy

to make you happy
i will always believe
i will be a patient rose.
and in one breath
i will be strong.

i love you
with your sweet breath
with your sweet scent.
i have seen you smile,
and i have seen you cry.

and in a way it seems
i can see those forgotten words
you ever said.
for my heart is breaking apart,
will you ever find me?

from the world of tomorrow,
a new and fearful voice
from my own empty heart,
whispered through the night:
i will send some mightier death.

i am in love
i am in the company
of forgotten lovers,
and forgotten lives.
