I Begin to Understand (If I want only goodness for your life I would have said farewell at hello.) There is more shade than light in me It seems like that when I try to be A man who meets my own demands To be close to your gracious hands I painted myself out of love by my doubt Accepted my flaws as an unworthy lout Denying love’s call as a chance for life Blaming myself that I have no wife Is it pretension to demand so much A handy excuse, a failure’s crutch Look at me; see the dare in my desires For you and I together to be live wires Sparking, sparkling, crackling heat We dared and felt without retreat Then why deal breakers come between Dashing hopes for what might have been Accept nothing (no one) less than pure As if Christ alone is loneliness’ cure Our flawed weary hearts full of need We started to give and take as agreed Stepping back, finding reason to refuse Giving each other a worthwhile excuse Now I am shamed for daring to embrace Only to end by parting ways with grace This writing is to declare the real shame That parting now is just to play a game No deal breaker is real except our fears Closeness comes by courage and tears Let’s cry together conquering ourselves Living richly with gold stolen from elves Building our rainbow to shine all around Teach bluebirds to sing the love we found Making is finding, and finding is keeping Keeping is growing; growing takes weeping Self sacrificed gives up all deal breaking Steal my loneliness; leave my heart quaking I dared, you dared, and let’s dare go higher Lower standards, gaining love we require This was the way of youthful love bloomed In aging ‘twas lost with wisdom presumed Giving me up, I offer my faults all to you Daring shame of refusal, trust open and true You can change me, but not so from afar Dare to come in; my heart’s door is ajar. Close it behind you, if you choose to leave Carry the welcome mat away if you grieve Or dust the doorstep, open windows blind Be home, be sure, and put our past behind. |
