Brandelyn: Lyrical Contradiction

With all of my might
With everything I have
I am trying not to fall in love
With you
Again


The valley between us
Has seemed to shrink
Into a simple glance
And every time I take a step
away from you
When I bat my eyelashes
you are
right there

My eyes see you
Through a new lens
That has lost its rose colored hue
Everything is black and white
The fantasy has melted into you
The memories have faded into blue
Calm
Smooth
Silent like the ocean
between your island and mine
your island and mine
your island is mine
and I never asked you to move me there

but here I am
fighting
hoping
wishing
and praying
that I can
I will
I must
Do whatever I can
To keep from falling
Back in love
With you
