The Top of the Stairs

I am waiting for you at the top of the stairs
Waiting at the closed cellar door
I thought this could be
Where we could meet
Once we talked, you seemed complete
Not in need of doing more learning
Just ready for sharing
That’s where I’m at too
The place of deep caring
For people and the world
The way I see it in you
Through the eyes of a girl
Must we pretend?
Still go through all those silly steps
Get a Scantron, take a test
Thought we didn’t need any of that
Felt we only needed an instant
The moment our eyes met
I got the message
It was time for my heart to listen
So I came here to the top of the stairs
Of course the door is closed
Has anyone ever been down there?
I have my key with me
Not for your door
For mine
Let’s go there too
Let’s do it at the same time
I know it looks dark
And perhaps it is scary
I know it is not
Because I saw it when I met you
When you smiled it came right through
It was your heart
Beautiful and true
That is why you can’t fool me
Why I am not giving up
Why I am waiting at the top of the stairs
Waiting for you to take me down there
Right into your heart, that’s where I belong
Because I want you in mine
Open that cellar door
Let’s let our hearts shine
