Giving up on secrets

I've been sending letters,
Waiting for anyone to read,
To tell me what they think,
And speak of what they mean,
But none could give me an answer,
I felt so clever,
Not one of them could see,
What any of them implied,
All alluding to one thing,
If I'm in love,
Than nobody knows tonight.
In a field full of kites,
You'll find her,
Above the trees in a hot air balloon,
Staring at the stars,
Getting as close as she can,
She's in love and so am I,
Not with ourselves,
With the creator of the sky,
But as our heads went down,
We were looking at each other.
Night came and there she was again,
Not just a face,
Now more like a friend,
We talked for a time,
And I stood attentive,
Taking in every word,
Then she said farewell,
And I told her goodbye,
We'd joked of this moment,
But kept it in mind,
And then it happened,
I never thought of it like this,
But I was pleasantly surprised.
Down by the ocean,
You'll find her,
Sitting in the sand watching the waves,
Looking at the fish,
And all their flashing colors,
She's in love and so am I,
Not with each other,
With the maker of the sea,
And when you know this,
You don't walk alone,
You walk together.
Now we travel the world side by side,
Proclaiming God's glory,
Thanking Him for sight,
We once walked around in darkness,
But now cover our eyes,
Now years have past and our tattered shoes,
Can't hold themselves together,
We put them to good use,
And there's more than enough memories,
To keep dreaming of times we shared
