Diglossia Girl

I've lived my life guarded,
hardened on the outside,
but fragile in my heart.

With you, I feel vulnerable.
And for the first time
I'm letting my defenses fall.

These walls are crumbling,
shattering like mountains of ice
but I am not resisting.

My mind needs no convincing
You are everything to me,
a love that was not procured.

Your love has captivated me,
but the distance is agonizing.
So anxious I could die.

I want to drop everything,
forget about life for a moment or two
and run to you.

You could catch me in your arms,
twirl me 'round and 'round.
We would dance the night away.

Embrace one another as the sun begins to set,
then cuddle beneath the galaxy.
on a blanket of country prairie.

Hold me indefinitely
and proclaim your love to me.
My heart is forever yours.

Nothing more could stand between
if we forgot about life for a moment or two
and I ran to you.
