Taking A Chance

by: Nehemiah L. Hemingway

I’m going out on a limb
So I can explain just how I feel.
But, I only take this chance
Because I know this love is real.

You know we’re meant to be together,
But you’re afraid to admit that fact.
You know that we really need each other,
But it’s trust that you seem to lack.

There has always been some skepticism
About the feelings that we hold.
And each time our eyes greet each other
You can sense the truth that is untold.

I know you want to greet eyes daily,
But we both know that won’t be,
Not until you gain the courage needed
To confess the love you have for me.

I’m pouring my heart out now;
Hoping that you will do the same.
You can put an end to this unhappiness.
Together we can wipe away this pain.

I know I went out on a limb
Just to explain the way I felt.
But I only took the chance
Because my love is for no one else.

It's Yours to Cherish

by: Nehemiah L. Hemingway

Do you know when I gave my heart away?
It did not take a year, a month, nor a day.
It happended the moment our paths crossed.
It skipped a beat; my words were at a loss.

It now belongs to you, my dear,
To hold and squeeze, but please beware:
Without constant love it will start to ache
And if love's lost, it will surely break.

Now that you know this in advance,
Prepare my heart some sweet romance.
Keep the fire strong; keep it alive.
Make sure that the flames never die (out).

For it is your heart, and with you it'll stay,
Even when this earth and time passes away.
