my Identity



Connect me to my heart, you are its language.
 Correct me from the start, if you think that I change.
 Speak to my mind, that's where you're running.
 Touch my eyes, it's you they delight in seeing.

 Hold my hand, you're here and I'm trembling.
 From where I stand, to you is where I'm going.
 Listen carefully to my words, to you I'm speaking.
 Get to know my world, around you it's revolving.

 Meet me at the old place, it's where I'm waiting.
 Study my ways, loving you is what I'm learning.
 Read my poems, it's you that it's describing.
 Sing my songs, find out it's to you they're singing.

 Ask me, you will know what you mean to me.
 Hear me clearly, my heart is crying silently.
 Hold me, you will feel that I'm trembling.
 Love me, you will make me happy.

 Everything about me speaks about you.
 If I'm a big lie, then you're the one thing that's true.
 I have no greater words to define you
 but my identity now is I who loves you.
