You and I

Part II · The South Korea / U.S. Army Era (1997–1999)

I was the star-struck dreamer lost in a maze of blind ambition,
Always looking to the skies to find the answers to my dreams.
But I took a clue when I first saw you
And realized what good love could do,
And I set my heart on the one path that was true.

You know that I love you, let me make you mine.
Tell me you believe me, show me a sign-
I know I don’t need to prove it to you,
But I will do what I need to do.

I pray…I love you more than mere words can simply say.
Please stay…I want you forever and not just today.
Don’t you know my world belongs to you?
I know that together we can see this through…

You were alone and at a loss for love, walking the road less traveled,
Living day to day to wait to fly away back home.
But your heart made a choice when you first heard my voice
And realized what good love could do,
And you set your heart on the one path that was true.

I know that you love me, you know I am yours.
Your love is the key that opens all the doors.
You know you don’t have to prove it to me
Because this love has set us free…

I pray…I love you more than mere words can simply say.
Please stay…I want you forever and not just today.
Don’t you know my world belongs to you?
I know that together we can see this through…

You and I were two planets orbiting the same sun.
Somehow after a sweet eclipse, we changed our courses and collided.
Sages and scholars all sought to discover how such love could remain undivided..
Our secret, still secure, stood straight from the fact that our love was never one-sided.
