Love


I lay in my bed wondering,

With the thoughts in my mind thundering,

With no rhythm or rhyme all along,

Wanting to write you a love song…

I started as just a lost soul,

Never realized that love will control,

Searching for what love means,

Racking my tiny brain to smithereens…

One day my mind had a thought new,

Suddenly I knew what I had to do,

Love isn’t just a string of words,

It’s not just about being free as the birds…

Love is about going that extra mile,

While making sure I always make you smile,

Love is about finding courage inside you,

That you didn’t know you could ensue…

Love is about gestures that are grand,

Love is about getting through times while holding your hand,

It’s about giant proposals in sky writing,

It’s about starting together on a journey exciting…

I want to make a forever for you,

Where it’s nothing except me and you,

I want to be crazy, and silly and cute in your love,

I want to tap dance like mumble and sing like a dove…

I don’t know what will happen in years from now,

But everything that we did avow,

Will be true just like we dream about,

From its seed our love will sprout…

I will do everything to keep you happy,

I will change anything to keep us happy,

I promise I will always love you,

More than ever and more than anything you will ever know…

You make me want to sing,

You make me want to dance and spring,

I wouldn’t blame you if this looked silly and makes you smile,

Because I started with a few words and ended with your smile…

People say we come to this world alone and we go alone,

But I know I will go with your name on my lips intoned,

I loved you always and will love you forever,

And forever it will be.
