Night patrol

On night patrol you go

Carrying my soul

And all its tender hopes

For a heart that was once broken

Facing a world of strife

Where terror surrounds us

I never thought I might give my heart to a warrior

Who fights for right

(But am I not a soul warrior

Fighting for light?)

And that you do not fear death

But fear more losing my love

Troubles me

But I understand my friend

For the heartbreak of loss of love

We have both known

Is devestating

So now

We open our deepest fears to each other

And find how real a love is

That does not hide them deep inside

Behind blame or attack

I pray for your safety

For to lose you before I ever held you again

Would be too tough

But I am willing to wait

With an open heart

Ready to love

Come what might
