Across the table I watch you
The glint in your eye and your face
But there are things that I can see
Things that you think that you’ve hidden

I do not know why you do that
Keep secrets that you must keep straight
Do you fear I’ll think less of you?
Embarrassed of what you have done?

Honey, you don’t have to hide things
Ours is a relationship strong
Jealous I can be, I can judge
But in this I would be so wrong

If I love you like I say
If you love me as much as I feel
Together we can overcome
Adversities that we create

Before the next time things you hide
Before from your lips those words fall
Know that I might be disappointed
But my love will forgive all

When i think of you
My heart does race
Of feelings felt
And your soothing embrace

To feel your lips on mine
To touch your softest skin
To hold your close to me
To have you always near

Inside my heart resides
A place you have captured
A place filled with your love
So full, so warm, so pure

Beside you I would stay
If that be your desire
Forever to be one
Our love always entwined

Alone I sit in this empty home
Around you my thoughts revolving
I wonder why this ties me in knots
These thoughts, desirous memories

As I think of you, tears do form
In the deep corners of my eyes
As swiftly does my mind so race
To your beauty, your eyes, to you

Never have I in wildest dreams
Thought I would have someone like you
To share, to laugh, to truly love
And of myself give unto you

I want, nay, I so humbly desire
To spend my life, my love with you
To wake beside you day by day
And spend nights together embraced

My heart for you have I laid bare
Of my deepest thoughts have I shared
With all my heart I pledge myself
Unto you all my love to give

Thoughts racing
Head in turmoil
My mind says go
My heart to stay

Upon this path
Lost I become
Images drowning
Feelings awhirl

Seeking answers
Questions I ask
No solace comes
My soul heavy

Do not I seek
My heart’s desire?
Will it to me
Come if I ask?

Deep in my heart
The love stays strong
Deep in my mind
Caution abounds

So back and forth
My feelings flow
Know what I want
Not how to go

I’ve given you
My heart in hand
Your decision
Cherish or crush

Do you want to know what you mean to me?
Your smile, your soul, your personality
As you safely hide behind your facade
You don’t know that you have captured my heart

To the ends of the earth I would go for you
For you to be happy do I hold true
For souls such as ours time is way too short
To put up our walls so we miss our way

There’s not much time for us to get this right
And too much time to agonize in the night
I offer to you this promise to keep
To you I’ll be there, for you will I stay
For life long and more I offer my love

Baby, miss I you
More than you can know
Empty nights alone
More than you imagine

Darkness does consume
Loneliness abounds
You daily without
My heart for you wants

One day together
One night forever
I hold out to you
Undying love always

I waited for you to call
My Angel I did not hear
I very truly miss you
Whenever you’re not near

I listen for a message
A clue that you are awake
The emptiness I feel
The silence does not slake

I wish to have you near
Close to me together
To wake with you beside
Dreams my mind to tether

To find someone like you
To give you so much love
Searching for a lifetime
Sweetest bliss undreamed of

Could I hold you against myself tight
Feeling your chest lightly rise and fall
Your heart beat synced with mine
Together embraced in the wings of night

So like an angel you’re sleeping
Head on my shoulder, against me cuddled
Your hair softly over me flowing
As intently I listen to your breaths

Restless, stirring to the ghosts of your dreams
Stilling your movements much tighter I hold you
From there into serene slumber you settle
As the murky night into sweet day turns

You wake, I behold you, your beautiful face
Alive, your eyes so sweetly beckon me
As forms upon my sleepy face a smile
Good morning, Beautiful falls from my lips

A year has almost come and gone
And to the wee hours we still talk
We enjoy each other’s company
And lift each other where we’re down

Never thought it could be this way
Words and feelings flow easily
Thoughts and desires for us to share
A life before us beginning

A year ago I couldn’t think
That you could make me so happy
All I can ever truly do
Is thank God for such a present
I love you.
