Analysis of Follow Your Heart



Magic breathes life in our hearts
 Destiny resides in our souls
 Our path now shimmers unshadowed by the night
 With one embrace partnered by a tender kiss, the bounds

of time and distance crumble through fingers like drifting
 grains of sand
 Dream time is the place where I am alive
 Green eyes ripple into lipid pools where miracles draw me

to your heart
 I am free to swim by your side until the sun sets and
 rises with you again
 Life is my dream

I love you
