Thick Layers

Looking into your eyes I see the love
I see the woman that I have dreamed of
I see a future with you and I smile
I see a life filled with love that cannot be denied

Today I question how much stronger do I need to feel
How deep do I need to ache so I know this is real
My aching is deep already and I know that I care
Is what I feel already love?  Is my heart ready to bare?

Maybe it is and I need to understand my heart
Learning is a process and I think it needs a jumpstart
A slap in the face and the kick in the ass
Wake up you fool, before she decides that she'll pass

I think the answers are brimming to come quick
I hope she will wait for my brain to cut through the thick
Thick layers of rawhide weathered and worn
Beat by straps of cruelty, bandaged by thorns

She is the one with whom I want to play
To rest, sleep, breath, and laugh with every day
I hope she understands although the words don't leave my mouth
I'm close to being one with her , she completes what my soul is without.
