You're Name is Freshly Painted.


I love the way you're eyes soak up the morning sun.

I adore you're passion for adventure and reckless fun.

The way the moonlight sends glimmer through your hair.

I notice because I love you.  I notice because I care.

 

The way you dress sends electricity through my mind.

You're beauty is indescribable.  You are one of a kind.

I will never mark or bruise your handcrafted face.

Because I love you, I will never give up the chase.

 

Because I love you, I will pursue you everyday.

I will never manipulate you into doing what I say.

I promise to harbor trust in the deepest parts of me.

And always remind you just how much you mean to me.

 

Because I love you, I trust your every word.

To blame my own insecurities on you is absurd.

You never need to worry if I've found somebody new.

Why need you not worry?  It's because I love you.

 

These three words are far too often said.

There meaning becomes twisted inside of people's heads.

But please know this, to me, their meaning is not tainted.

When I hear them, in my heart, your name is freshly painted.

 

Because I love you, I will put your needs before my own.

Because I love you, your arms are now my home.

Because I love you, I will be the best I can.

Because I love you, I will be a better man.

Because I love you.
