Missing Piece


You are what I never knew

I always wanted to

You were given two legs to walk

Two hands to hold

Two eyes to see

Two ears to listen

But why only one heart?

Because the other one was given to someone else

For you to find

When death to either shall come

I pray it be first to me

When you are in love

You can't fall asleep

Because reality is better than your dreams

When I saw you, I fell in love

And you smiled because you knew

To the world you may be one peson

But to one person you may be the world

The night has one thousand eyes

In the day but one

Yet the light of the bright world dies with the dying sun

The mind has a thousand eyes

And the heart but one

Yet the light of a whole life dies

When love is done

I love you

Not for what you are

But for what I'm  when i'm with you

Only fools fall in love

And I guess I'm one of them

Don't say you love me

Unless you mean it

Because I might do something crazy like believe it

Find a someone who calls you beautiful instead of hot

Who calls you back when you hang up

Who will lie under the stars and listen to your heartbeat

Or stay awake just to watch you sleep

Wait for the one who kisses your forehead

Who wants to show you off to the world

One who constantly reminds you how lucky they are to have you

The one who turns to his friends and says

That's the one

I will follow you

And make a heaven out of hell

Then I'll die by your hand

Which I love so well

Listen to no one who tells you how to love

Your love is like no other

And that's what makes it beautiful

If I had one choice between loving you and breathing

I would use my last breath to say I love you

I will hate the one you marry because it is not me

And love the one if  they make you smile.
