He Stole My Heart

He stole my heart with just one sound
I turned my head to look around
It was a voice I had not heard
He stole my heart with every word

With dark brown hair, commanding voice
He stole my heart I had no choice
And once he knew it's he I pick
He stole my heart and stole it quick

His kiss, his touch, his smile, his eyes
The way he sang, the way he cried
To this day I don't know why
He stole my heart and said goodbye

Though years passed and life went on
I'd pass our park or hear our song
I saw him once that same sweet voice
I stared in awe and listened close

I wondered why we could not be
But he seemed happy, wild and free
A boy no more, a handsome man
With broken soul and wounded hands

If fate is cruel and love is true
It hit me then what I'd to do
I'd trip and stumble along the way
Determined though he couldn't stay

Of course my head it never wins
My heart still his, the perfect sin
How quickly all my words were gone
When we were left to be alone

But I am weak and he still strong
I'll always wonder what went wrong
There's one last thing, It's what he said
He stole my heart but not my head

His words burn deep however true
"This can't last, I won't hurt you"
My head says STOP! with no regret
End this now my mind is set

So left enclosed inside this letter
I leave a stamp, return to sender
Please send my heart though bruised and cracked
I need it NOW, I need it back!

And if someday our stars align
Though we cannot go back in time
I'll keep my heart here just in case
For no one else could take your place
