Because I Truly Love You
After a long day when my shoulders are low
My face in a frown, because the rest of the world turned it upside down
Can you make my smile grow?
Will you take me by the hand, and help me stand?
And when my tears fall
Can i count on you to wipe them all?
Would you make the choice to dive in, pull me out, and pull me in
When i breathe, would i find clarity?
In clarity, would you even stand with me?
With an Open mind, open mouth, and open heart
Where else should start?
Yes you love me, that may be true
But what happens when problems arise out of the blue?
Could we still stand, not through sight but by mind?
If you dug deep would you like whats to find?
Like the ocean,vast, scary and deep
Would you be willing to stand by me and make that leap?
If the world wiped me blind
Would i still be able to see, that "love" you have for me?
That type of unrelenting love a mother would give to her cub
Not the love found and lost at a pub
I mean compassion, i mean care
Not just those present when i'm there.
Do you hold me in mind?
In your heart?
As i sit here next to you in the dark
Two halves a whole despite differences, stark
I turn to you and ask
"Do you love me?"
You pull me in, against your skin
Your first words - "Where do i start?"
as you begin, you breathe me in and you say
" The ocean’s may be vast and deep
For you and me?
God, i’d take that leap
Because even blind i keep you in mind
see ,touch, feel a love that’s real
I dug deep, i struck gold, you make me feel
Unrelenting, unmoveable and set in stone
Because when problems did arise, you didn’t let me stand alone
Love, not found and lost
Through years of beauty and looks that may perish
My Love for you, is found and cherished."
