Sometimes late at night
Thoughts run through my head
Wond’ring where you are
A feeling that I dread

Feelings that I have
Deep inside for you
Make my dear mind swirl
Tell me what is true

Want to hold you close
Feel you next to me
Comforting embrace
Hope that you can see

One day have you near
All that I do need
With everlasting love
My heart does concede

If you do consent
This dream evermore
Promise to you now
Your heart to adore

Love so deep and true
From my heart does leap
Hardly to contain
Feelings my soul reaps

To this very end
I will offer you
Show you ev’ry day
Love begins anew

Incomparable you are
Your beauty
Your strength
In you these qualities I love
These qualities I desire

Fragile you are
Like a flower whose petals
Under the slightest pressure bend
Like the thinnest ice
At any moment can break

But in you do these
Each other complement
Strength hiding weaknesses
Wisdom hiding impulse
Cheer hiding depression

For these reasons
Do I champion you
To be your defender
Your support
Your protection
Your love

Why do I worry?
Why do I care so?
Give me an answer
So that I may know

The things I can see
Items that I infer
Heightens the concerns
My mind can’t defer

Wanting to help you
I step to the plate
I offer myself
Demons to negate

Acceptance of you
Foremost in my mind
With utmost caring
Works love that is blind

If ever you share
Your fears now concealed
Then at that due time
I’ll become your shield
