Xena -
Ares -
I wonder if she hears me now as I whisper in her ear,
As I put my arms round her and hold her, my dear
I tell how I feel for her and how I do despair,
My heart is breaking silently when she isn't near,
She has a special place with me and that will never change,
In years to come I promise that a marriage we'll arrange,
My hopes and dreams I tell her sleeping form,
Never leaving until the last moments before dawn,
I wonder if she hears me and cherishes me too,
I long to hear her say to me 'I love you',
But this will never happen, not in a thousand years,
For all I've ever caused her is blood shed and tears,
If she did forgive me I'd laugh in her face,
No-one could ever love me, my life is a disgrace,
But all seem to want to do is hold her in my embrace,
Make up for all the pain I caused her and her race,
Xena, I love you with all my heart and soul,
All I ask is for you to let me stay, for your presence to make me whole.
In the night you come to me and tell me of your day,
Of all the love you feel for me that won't go away,
You touch me very softly and watch me as I sleep,
Why doesn't any one else see that your heart is so deep,
Your despair and longing pour fourth from your tongue,
Your soul sings to me it's mourning song,
All I want is to hold you tight and take away your plight,
But I know that if I show my listening you will disappear,
And you won't return to me and whisper in my ear,
For me alone to hear your sorrow and regret for everything you've done,
I wonder what you'd say if you knew I listened closely,
If you knew I cared for you, for you mostly,
Over all the things in this wide world and all the world's there are,
But as day breaks you leave me and surrender to your call,
Throughout the day I wonder if I just dreamt it all,
But then you'll come again and tell me of your love,
I will smile to my self - you're a gift from above.
