I Never...

I never saw...
Until I looked into your eyes.

I never heard...
Until you whispered my name.

I never felt...
Until you held my hand in yours.

I never loved...
Until you opened up my heart.

I Know

I know how to laugh at life,
I know well how to cry,
I know how to fall in love,
And all the reasons why.
I know how to listen,
I know well how to talk,
I know how to close my eyes,
And when it's time to take a walk.
I know how to stand and fight,
I know I cannot win them all,
I know when to sound a retreat,
And how to take a fall.
I know it's written in the stars,
That love is meant for two,
I know that what I feel is love,
Ans what I feel is all for you.

Dreaming

My heart was walking a tightrope,
With nowhere left to go,
I'd faced the fact forever,
I'd walk through life alone.

Then quietly she came to me,
No pretences, no demands,
Not expecting much of me,
Except for me to be who I am.

I'm not quite sure how it happened,
She caught me unaware,
It seems so unbelievable,
Pinch me? Don't you dare!

For if I'm asleep, don't wake me,
I don't want the dream to end,
She's more than just a lover,
She is truly my best friend.

So, as I lay here hoping,
This isn't just a dream,
I open my eyes and see her,
Lying here right next to me.

My prayers have all been answered,
My wishes have come true,
I wasn't dreaming after all...
My love, my dear - IT WAS YOU.

Sweet Surrender

I close my eyes in sweet surrender,
Falling into your arms I melt,
Like chocolate in the heat of the sun,
As slowly, we become one.

I lose myself in the sweetness of your touch;
Your kisses, long and lingering...
Hot, wet skin against hot, wet skin,
Our lovemaking slow and sensual.

I close my eyes as we hold each other tight,
And feel the beating of your heart against mine.
With every breathe I love you more;
Now...forever...until the end of time.

Forever

The oceans may dry with drought,
The sky may lose its blue;
But one thing that will never end
Is my undying love for you.

Stone walls erected may crumble soon,
And clothes will rip and tear,
But one thing that will never happen
Is that I will cease to care.

In shallow waters it seems I lived,
My companions were pain and strife;
My mother brought me into this world,
But it is your love that gave me life.

Pain and suffering means nothing,
When I'm with you they are but lies.
Your gentle touch, your softest breath,
As I look into your eyes.

Being in your presence,
Strips every form of my control.
Your smile warms my very heart,
Your touch, my very soul.

When I die and go to heaven,
When death replaces birth;
I'll recongnize the angels' faces,
For I have lived with one on Earth...

Missing Half

I've wandered through this lonely life,
Not really understanding why,
I felt as though a part of me,
Had wandered off to die.

The world around me carried on
As if without a care,
But deep inside I knew there was
A part of me not there.

I tried to live as others did,
But always it was wrong,
But then you came into my life,
And I knew where I belonged.

The answer came the moment that
You looked into my eyes,
For deep within the heart of you,
The missing half of my soul lies.

Broken Road

Every long lost dream
Led me to where you are.
Others who broke my heart
They were like North stars,
Pointing me on my way
Into your loving arms.
God blessed the broken road
That led me straight to you.

If There Were No Tomorrow

I would tell you today
That you are the one that fills my life,
Whose smile I cannot wait to see,
Whose arms I long to have wrapped around me,
Whose lips I live to kiss,
Softly, passionately; in every way.

I would want you to know
That you make my heart skip a beat,
You fill my soul with contentment;
You brighten up my dark skies.
You fill my days and nights
With stars, hopes and cascading dreams.

I would want you to see
How beautiful you are through my eyes...
Your smile lights up the sky,
Your touch paints the heavens,
Your kiss creates amazing rainbows
Of beauty, sunshine and life.

I would want you to understand
That I have always loved you,
Before I even knew there was a you,
Before our eyes ever met.
Before I found in you
Happiness, completeness and passion.

If there were no tomorrow I would tell you
That you are the greatest gift in my life,
Whose love I cherish above all else.
You sustain me with your friendship, laughter and love,
Of which before there was no knowing.
I'd tell you I love you infinitely, without boundaries and beyond all time.

You

You're the air I breathe,
The scent I smell,
You're the touch I feel,
You're everything that's real.

You're the better half,
The stronger willed,
You're the beat of my heart,
The more compelled.

You're the sun that shines,
The lighter side,
You're the grass that grows,
The stream that flows.

You are the inner soul,
The eyes that shine,
The one I love,
My peace of mind.

You are and always will be,
The better part of me.
