OLI SPLEEN

If you were me 

And could see what I have seen 

Then you would know the longing

And the heartache 

And the listless lonely days

I had a dream

I’d meet someone like you 

Someone who would not blame me 

Who’d save me 

Who’d let my soul renew 

Now you are here

Unafraid to hold my heart 

In spite of all my failings

My feeling

That I am not enough 

And cannot be

You make me feel complete 

Oh lover let me hold you 

And behold you 

Tell me that you won’t leave 

But then if I could be you 

If I knew all that you knew 

If I could walk within your shoes

And wear your skin 

I taste your suffering

It mirrors mine 

Oh let our lives entwine 

And hold me lover, hold me

Unfold me

And wrap your heart in mine
