Clear

In the early hours of morning
Everything becomes clear
I see the truth and nothing else
Crystal clear to me now

I see that what I thought was love
Is not really love
Only the product of a fear
My fear of being alone
Only the product of lust

Only one person do I love
And this morning I can see
I've loved her for eight years
But does she love me?

It all becomes clear
What I now must do
No longer am I afraid
For I am certain I am right
When I say "I love you"

My path is now obvious
My love is now unquestioned
What I want is now certain
What I must do is now clear

Not one week from now
The words will be spoken
Eight years in the making
That night will be perfect
For me to say "I love you"
