When things are right 2

Thought I'd revise and add more to my original. Nothing like a little revision to remind me how much toil it takes to make sense!
When things are right
I remember why I'm here.
I remember my purpose.
Never give me those days
When I was searching.
I never want to lose this
Because my sight has returned.
Perpetual eye of the storm,
My calm is everlasting.
Back in this place
I can love you like I should.
We are like few I know.
They never admit
That their hearts are simple,
That their feelings are real,
That time wastes few
As much as it wastes me
When I am not with you.
If I lie to you, let me die
So that I cannot suffer
An all-present guilt.
Let that heavenly buffer
Be between us instead
Of a true love lost.
Your honesty is real
So I want to show you
How true my heart is.
Take your hand
And put it on my heart.
Feel the stampede
Of passion within it.
If it clobbers you,
You cannot say
My love never hurt you.
Let that be the only time
That it ever will…
That we exist in the eye
Of a storm, I cannot deny.
But thank God
That we will not lie.
Out loud, I will scream
Though the weak winds may
Soon drown me out,
Compared to my full words,
They have nothing to say.

All I know is that to see, and not to speak, would be the great betrayal.
