Baby, I’m a mess over you.
A beautiful, emotional mess over you.
A loving, heartfelt, tearful mess over you.
A caring, longing, heart-stopping mess over you.  
An “everything about you” kind of mess.
You just make me so happy; I smile, cry, breathe fast, tingle, shake, and get nervous—almost like it’s our first date.
Baby, I’m a mess, but baby, I’m a beautiful mess over you!

The ache of yearning, the ache of this heart within me is seen,
always when I see your face on my screen.
This tug of emotions from my heart to my eyes, brings my face laden with tears.
My only hope is that this wandering for you, since I can’t have you all mine, will last many, many years.
You’ve brought changes to me, it’s plain to see, yhe expression you put on my face.
It’s you, my sweet man, my sweetheart,
That makes this silly heart race.
Through any of the seasons, through any storm, my heart and eyes will be fixed upon you.
But baby, please let your heart know, though I’m not always near, my heart aches for its love too.
I know there’s no longer a hollow ache where feelings once were, since you came into my view.
Not a thing I would change, not a thing I would do,
Except to be held closer to you.

Imagine you're a jar sitting lonely on a shelf,
Sitting unfilled, with dust upon itself.
This jar has held love once before,
But that love has faded; only remnants remain, leaving it such a bore.
Why would a shelf withhold such a plain thing?
Why would it sit amongst shiny items, almost like rings?
Then one day, out of the blue, someone came along and added something to you.
They took a small rag and dusted the top.
They placed their hand on the lid until they heard a pop.
That's when they put in such whispers, so sweet,
Telling of the time of our first meeting.
Then, as days pass, the lid twists undone,
Then things keep being added, like all the times we've had fun.
Then the lid is placed beside the jar on the shelf,
Which yields some beautiful items inside itself.
There's such sweet music coming from inside,
Telling the stories of where love resides.
The jar holds sweet snapshots of time spent together.
This beautiful jar is now surely something to treasure.
If you haven't gathered, this once lonely jar—
It's me and my heart before you came to my car.
You took all you could and have given to me,
Not things that are tangible, but a love that's so free.
This once empty, sad, lonely jar has been filled by your love.
This jar feels more beautiful than the birds flying above.

I'd have you all to myself, baby, if you let me,
Even though i know you'd let me right now.
This feeling is just like a burning infection,
But it's so good, I can't fake this beautiful smile.
I'd have you all to myself if life's barriers would release you.
It's just a big hypothetical thing.
But these feelings are so strong that I internally scream.
But being with you forever would be my ultimate dream.
I guess that's why they call it dreaming, because waking from it is a harsh reality.  
But being with you forever would be the ultimate prize.
I guess that's what happens when you find a love like ours.
But wherever you go, baby, I'll always be beside you.
Even though I can't have you all to myself, I guess sharing you will have to do.

I know you say I don't need to stop and drop what I'm doing to run to you.
But if you only knew the magnetic pull within me, so true.
I have forces pulling and pushing me inside that draw me in.
It's not that I can turn it off as if there were a stop button.
I'm emotionally attracted to you and your whole being.
That will never change. So, if there are times that seem awkward and unfair to me,
Trust me, baby, I'm all for you. Nothing can change this. No barriers are strong enough to keep separate the ties that bind us together.
No matter what comes and what goes, not matter where you go I'm only a few steps behind.
Im always here for you because believe me if things were different You'd always be here for me.
No barriers would block you; you'd be free.
You're amazingly awesome, and this all-consuming love runs and overflows. This love will never stop; I'm always here for you.

A moment

A moment in time
Does this flip on a dime
A moment in time
Hanging on like a lifeline
Does this moment in time vanish
Fast like a breeze
Or this moment we speak of roll like the seas
This moment is yours its all up to you
You spend these moments anway that you choose.
Spend them fast where your holding on for dear life
Let them go like a rock dancing across the ice
However you spend these moments let no one judge you
For I'll tell them they're all wrong.
This moment in time is your choice to have
Dont put this fate into another ones slippery hands.

Anxiety and Fear

Looks like you’re holding a snow globe so intricate and sweet.
Once shaken, the snow starts falling in big sheets.

For this fragile snow globe is not ever really clear.
When it’s shaken and shaken again, then comes the fear.

You can’t see inside to the beautiful scene.
You start to panic; will the view ever be clean?

You keep shaking the snow globe harder and harder, and then,
The questions and anxiety creep right on in.

Will I ever get to see into this beautiful globe?
Why is it so hard to see through the snow?

Why is it like this, what did I do this time?
I’m always ruining something I feel every time .

This perfect snow globe will never be the same.
Why does it feel like I’m going insane?

I’m a huge mess of tears and fears.
This precious snow globe doesn’t deserve to be here.

I then take a seat and set the globe down.
Upon my face, there’s such a big frown.

I’m upset with myself; what did I do?
I’ve broken something beautiful, shiny, and new.

It’s then when I look at that snow in the globe start to slow down.
It starts to settle back down to the ground.

I start to breathe slower; the tears and fear calm their war.
It is then that I realize what I have done, and all becomes clear—

that I do have some power over my anxiety and fear.

Together, there is an electric thrill.
Fingertip touches cause heat, making quickening sparks; winds of short, deep breaths break into breathless lines and pants of urgency.
Together, the connection deepens the physical, sensual, and emotional pull between us.
A pounding pulse between two hands, then the breath between forms mystical embers.
Then, rolls of tides flow, causing our souls' awakening.
With our soul-stirring, earth-shattering bond, it makes earthquakes that shake the body.
That all-surrendering kind of touch and the oneness together flow like rivers, always timeless, between the ambient connection of stars.

Baby, you know me,
Though it hasn’t been long.
Baby, you know me,
Even know I’m not that strong.  
Baby, you know I’m emotionally charged,
Yet all it takes is your voice to make it fine.
Baby, you know I’ve given you my heart,
Though it’s been yours since the very first sign.  
Baby, I know I drive you crazy,
Even when you won’t say it, time and again.
It’s amazing how much a gentleman you’ve always been,
Your patience and grace never seem to end.  
Baby, I hate when I upset you or we fuss,
I’m trying so hard not to be too much.
Baby, your kindness pulls me through the storm,
Your steady heart keeps my soul warm.  
Baby, let’s dance through the highs and the lows,
With every step, our love only grows.
Baby, you’re my haven, my safest place,
Forever I’ll cherish your warm embrace.

My heart beats steadily,
My face starts to flush.
When I'm beside you,
I get a big-time rush.

Leanne 11/21/24

I can’t imagine how much better this can be,

when it is beauty in all that I see.
Like I wandered into a dream,

the most beautiful dream you could see.
The presence of you, and the presence of me
It’s like the moment was meant to be.
So perfectly, my hand conforms to yours.
How Beautiful you kiss my hand in its small
form.
The way I fit so Beautifully under your chin.
I never want this moment to end.
When it does, your feel lingers still.
I feel as if you can’t be real.
It’s almost l like im imagining you.
There’s no possible way in the world that’s true!
The way that you look at me, so deep into my eyes.
I could live in their reflection forever and ever.
To just look at you and hear you speak.
It’s the words you don’t say that’s such a treat.
The way  I’m able to understand what this stare means from the sweetest man.
Beautiful connection ,
Beautiful spark.
Beautiful,  just so beautiful ,it just goes straight to my heart.
I feel I could be in your presence all of the time, we would  never get bored.
I’d always have you as mine.
I promise I’m not taking you away for only me.
But man if there was a choice with you, I would flee.
Beautiful stranger,
Beautiful friend,
Beautiful  moments,
That have just began.
Just beautiful…..

Between the world and me,
a fateful friend,
a flowing fountain.
Between the world and me,
a picture in a frame,
a field of wildflowers.
Between the world and me,
a night that keeps the stars
and hangs the moon.
Between the world and me,
a compass to a map,
a ray of sunshine.
Between the world and me,
a book with a bookmark
marking my spot,
a happy ending to a story.
Between the world and me,
you are a lamp guiding me
into my dreams,
a song without words,
written in stone.
All the wonderful things
between the world and me.

The boat floats, the waves toss about,
My favorite thing about this movement,
Is the view with you within the boat.

These **** bottles of pills.
What kind of person have you made me?
When I take these little pills.
It’s only to alter some brain chemistry.

Lately it seems as if they are making me mad.
Quickly destroying all that I have.
These **** bottles of pills,
Yell out from the shelf.
“Please take me I’m here for your mental health”.
The problem with these **** little pills,
Is are they causing a problem, not letting me be free.

Tuning me into a mess, and not letting me be me.
This plastic facud I place on everyday.
Let’s me fake out everyone, Like,
“look she’s okay”.
Really though am I?
Have you seen this whack?

I’ve become obsessive, angry, and an emotional train wreck.
It’s taken over my sweet little brain.
Makes me feel as if I’m insane.

“Take this pill for your anxiety, even though it says depression”
“Oh and take this one, it will help you focus.”
“But keep in mind it also keys you up so your anxiety may be running little a muck.”
“Oh and don’t forget these pills they will settle you down, help you not have another run of the mill panic attack.”

Lets be real for a minute, let me ask you a question, how do you know that?
Only I know the real me and the one whos mind is off track.
Sometimes I feel like these pills are making me lose all control.
Like I have no say in what my brain tells these idle hands to hold.

I just jump in headfirst and keep diving in,
Not thinking of others’ hearts and what I might do to them.
Moral of the story is: Stop blaming the bottle of pills.
Keep control of yourself; don’t let yourself falter.
Find other things to occupy your brain rather than laying your pills on the altar.
Don’t worship the pills like it’s the only way out.

You are the person you were meant to be.
Let’s take away this mental health stigma and stand up for yourself.
I promise you’re really not crazy.
We all suffer from some type of mental health issue; you are not lazy.

What's at the bottom of the bottle?
Is it sorrow, fears, and a life gone wrong?
Maybe what's at the bottom
is a little something more.
Maybe it's what you've been looking for?
Maybe it's where all your dreams have gone,
Maybe it's where all your days have been,
Maybe it's a life well-lived.
The best thing about bottles
is that when they are empty,
they can be refilled with
whatever you desire.
Maybe it can be filled with new, clear, refreshing water that makes you feel fresh and free.
Maybe it's something wrong for you, but it's your only way to breathe.
What's at the bottom of the bottle?
The choice is up to you,
Because what's at the bottom of the bottle is meant for only you.

Have you ever looked at the clouds and seen them sweetly lie,
The way they dance and spin about in their beautiful display?
The colors, sometimes vibrant, mixed with different hues,
This beautiful collection often makes me think of you.
When I look up above where the clouds take form,
It shows me how something so plain can be out of the norm.
Like the shapes they take on, letting your imagination fly,
Oh, what beauty I see when I look to the sky!
The clouds above remind me of you, my love, when I look into your eyes—
Your eyes, so beautifully captivating, drawing me in.
They show the different ways you feel; I'm so glad you let me look within.

Being comfortable with you is something so profound.
It’s the feeling of your presence whenever you come around.
I feel your comfort every time at first sight.
I know I’m comfortable because everything feels just right.
The way you call me “sweetheart” and check on me always
Brings so much comfort into my everyday.
The way you hold me tightly whenever we hug—
This comfort you’re giving is better than any drug.
I’m so comfortable with you; it’s always like a dream.
I can’t believe someone like you is with me.
I’m so comfortable with you when we talk on the phone;
I feel you’re right next to me even  when I’m alone.
I feel comfort in every word you say;
I trust and respect everything you display.
You comfort me with your strong, steady hands, and I hold them so tight.
I love when our hands touch and our fingertips mingle just right.
You’re my comfort, the place I feel at rest.
Being comfortable with you, baby, sure is the best.

Coming out of a fog
It’s like you’ve been hidden away and out of sight;
Like you are invisible, no matter how much you fight.
This thin veil that once hid my face
Is now showing bright light;
it has been given such grace.
Coming out of the fog is such a beautiful thing;
Nothing is better than seeing what it brings.
This instant connection to the other side.
To feel the fog brush over my face
Makes me feel like I’m leading race.
What a treasure it is to be seen and heard,
With just the simplest of his words.
His voice envelops me like the warmest hug,
It’s wildly crazy that it’s been hidden under a rug.
The chill from the fog as I’m passing through
Makes me feel like the only presence here in this room.
I get these crazy chills all across my arms.
I know that this fog I pass through won’t cause me any harm.
My heart beats faster; I get a huge smile.
It’s quite amazing, even between  many miles.
It feels like you’ve been beside me throughout each day.
Man, it’s crazy how fast we connected this way.
To think I once knew this man before, But not really knowing him much, I can’t wait to learn more.
The passionate, intimate, and emotional feeling,
The spark seems to be igniting a fire
showing a deep connection with new meaning.
Experiencing this with you fills my heart so fine.
I'll be yours, and you will be mine.

Baby, where have you been all my life?
Why have I missed a connection this much?
Something I never knew could exist like this.
The words “Just so you know, you’ve captured my heart” melt me into a puddle so sweet..
Man, I’m so glad we chose to meet. Once a friendly stranger, now a love who has my heart.
I’ve literally  fell  head over heals for you.
I Wouldn’t change a thing, unless it were to know you sooner.  The way your eyes capture mine, and mine capture the light.
Shows a magical connection, as if our souls are tied together, from the strings of our hearts.
The best thing is that things only look up now. I know my heart will never give up on this man.
I hope he knows he’s stuck with me for the rest of our lives. This amazing missed connection now connected, as if it were meant for a time like this.

Cover me in blankets
Cover me in warmth
Cover me from heartache
Cover me from storms
Cover me when I'm frightened
Cover me when I'm alone
Cover me with sweetness
Cover me with joy
Cover me with justice
Cover me with peace
Cover me with protection
Cover me while I sleep
Will you cover me always?
Cover me with your amazing grace
I know you will cover me
You don't see me as a disgrace
You cover me because I am yours
You gave your life for me
You cover me every day when you're watching over me
My comfort and my fortune
My eternal friend
You've covered me from the beginning
And you'll cover me till the end

Racing thoughts, uncontrollable thoughts at that, second guessing, stress, feeling maybe to obsessed.
This is what you do to me

**** you Anxiety

Sweaty palms ,heart beating fast, hyperventilating, lips turn to blue, air feels cut off
What do I need to do?

**** you Anxiety

It looks ok from the outer view but deep inside stomachs turning, I break a sweat, feels like all eyes are opened they are studying me.

**** you Anxiety

Take your meds! Did you take your meds? call your doctor that's what he says, it's not the problem cant you see nothing helps

**** you Anxiety

I wonder how normal feels? You mean you don't get flushed? your heart doesn't ache, your whole body doesn't shake?

**** you Anxiety

I guess it just me, this is who I am ,
some pitiful stricken Anxiety lamb.

**** you Anxiety

Darkness

Eyes close, darkness rises.
My life has thrown a surplus of surprises,

Some good, others I wish had never started.
This life I loved, once shown in bright light,
Is now covered by a solace of night.

Will the light shine back upon me again so this **** dark in my eyes can fade into oblivion

With hope and a friendly face and words that take me to a special place,
That place there, it's abundantly clear, the darkness was just my raging fear

Those deep-set eyes melt my heart when I look at you,
Captivating and so intense, pulling me into a beautiful view.
An air of mystery floods those eyes,
Making me feel like I’m in for a great surprise.
Your soulful gaze that pierces straight to my heart,
These mysterious eyes take me on a ride I’ve loved from the start.
The unspoken stories those eyes have seen,
That smoldering look where I love to be caught in between.
Your eyes sparkle with such warmth, making my heart skip a beat
That magnetic pull draws me into the eyes that my eyes meet.

The feeling of needing someone before you even knew they existed,
It's a crazy thought to think.
But baby, when this happened, it’s like the sky opened up,
And you appeared within a blink.
I could have known you sooner; I know I would have loved you then.
But baby, now that I truly know, I can look back to where my sight of you began.
You're the eyes that I get lost in; I could stare at you for days.
I'm enticed by all your actions; I'm in love with all your ways.
You make my days seem brighter with just a simple "hey baby" or "sweetheart."
It’s like this love I share with you is a masterpiece of art.
The beautiful connection of our hearts and souls combined,
I'm so glad that you were destined for me at the most perfect place in time.

Don't you ever doubt yourself, my love;
you are more amazing than you know. You were placed here on this Earth by the Lord above.
He surely gives amazing things to us that will grow.
There are so many special parts to you;
don't ever let anyone dull your smile. You brighten up any room you walk into.
For you, I'd walk a thousand miles.
You're so worthy of anything you set in your mind.
To be in your life today,
it's like a hidden treasure that I happened to find.
Don't ever feel you're not worthy of love, my sweetest Ray.
To me, you are a man who is loving and so kind.
That's something so rare.
You just keep being you, the one who is always on my mind.
Remember, just because other people make you doubt, I'm here....signed
-someone who really does care.

Give yourself some grace.
Don't let others jump ahead in your race.
Even when you're feeling your worst,
like when you're balancing so much,
love yourself a little extra right now; don't let anyone land a single punch.
Take the words spoken to you; let them hit the wall.
Don't let someone's words make you crumble. it almost makes you fall.
Most of all, don't forget to love yourself from the start.
Let only those who support you kindly fill your heart.
You deserve such beautiful and bright things.
Don't let others take away the joy that smile brings.
Don't forget to love yourself. You are a sweet and kind man.
You're a force to be reckoned with; you deserve to stand!

In the stillness of this lonely night, I feel your absence so deeply.
Sounds of our laughter play in my mind, their lovely sounds creep in.
In my dreams, I see your bright smile, but when awake, I tend to weep.
It's me, your girl, wishing you were here, in my arms, forever to keep.
Though miles may lie between us this week, and my nights seem awfully long,
it's then, when I look to the stars above, that they remind me of your eyes shining into mine.
My thoughts are always consumed with you, which is where they belong.
I'm sending my love to you across the darkened skies.
Soon, in the coming days, we will again be side by side,
and all the pain of you not being physically near will subside.
Until that day arrives, I'll think of you constantly,
and dream of when you'll be here holding me.

I love the touch of our faces so close so near,
Our skin entwines, so soft, so textured, yet clear.
Our closeness wraps these hearts in flame,
You makes me feel you've  always know my name.
Our touches ignite a soul’s bright fire
This love, this spark, its you  I’ll never tire.
So close to you, I long to dive within,
To live, to breathe, inside of your skin

Falling for your soul sounds like something so cliché,
But baby, I fall for it more and more every day.
The depth of our love can never be measured by any man,
But this longing and pull I have toward you makes me your biggest fan.
The impact of this pull on my heart toward your soul,
I know that years upon years is what I need—it’s my goal.
I know I may not need you whenever I say I do,
But this feeling is a longing of my heart beating with you.
I know it’s your strength, love, and your soul’s captivity,
Baby, I’d be a prisoner for your love for all eternity.
All the qualities that you possess far surpass any superficial part of you, even if it’s the best.
Please remember I don’t just want you, but I need you in my life always.
You pick me up from my lows, and it’s then that I can rest.

Baby, I feel completely weightless with your words to me.
You say things that make me feel like I'm floating on a cloud, so free.
With your beautiful words, baby,
These butterflies are always here for you.
You may feel like you don't do anything to make me feel as I do.
But, baby, this biggest smile on my face belongs to you.
When you say just what you feel,  baby like you do.
Your words speak to me going straight to my heart.
Ive never been shown love like this in the sweetest part.
This is all new and amazing to me. I love that you feel comfortable saying what you say.
That's why I'm like melted butter in my baby's hands every day.

Following those eyes threw the years.
I’d never think we’d end up here.
New connection between us two.
Destiny’s hand has led us through
You’re the only one, a
Once upon a dream
Under the brightest star in the sky
Boy, you sure are something neat
All for you is what I’d give
But for now pieces is all I’m allowed
Everyday this between us grows and
I’ll always FIND YOU BABE

Your gaze lights up in me a wildfire’s flame,
I become  consumed in the smolder, undone, craving more the same.
Your breath pushes hard, against my deepest plea,
Your kiss drowns my soul in the deepest part of the sea.  
Even in the darkness, your touch ravishes me so deep,
A burning heart fire I’ll forever keep.
My heart pounds wild, a radical call,
You’re my ruin, you’re the rise, your my all.  
No words from another can calm this blaze,
Your skin touching my skin sets my whole world ablaze.
In every pulse, through every rush and rapid fire,
You’re my heat, my volcanic desire.  
Does this hold the passion that you crave?
This sure has my hearts passion in a fiery rage.

First of many moments in love I have spent with you.
The firsts I’ve experienced in all my 40 years.
All these new moments I never knew I missed,
never knew I needed or wanted until our very first kiss.
That’s when it all started, and I finally felt seen.
Like you knew what I needed, wanted, and everything in between.
You putting on my jacket that evening it was cold.
This seriously just happened to me when I was 40 years old.
The way you hold my body so close and tight to yours,
When you pushed against me on the car door.
The way you hold my head and deeply kiss me cradling it with care.
The way you let me know it’s alright, you are there.
The way you call me sweetheart and ask if I’m okay.
The way you check on me throughout the day.
The way you nuzzle your face against my cheek.
This feeling is so special so close that I feel weak.
The way you take your finger and rub my soft spots on my face.
This makes my heart beat faster, almost as if I ran a race.
Sitting with you at breakfast on our first official date.
When you reached across the table and our hands met in between.
Holding hands across the table, I’ve never done such a thing.
There are so many first moments I’ve had with you.
I can’t imagine all the more first moments of love that are still to come.
Man, when I’m with you, Ray, you make me feel so loved.

Forgive my attachment, it grips too tight,
My silly ways that spin in flight.
You fill my days with the suns radiant glow,
A warmth from you that makes my spirit flow.  
Your laughter, your words heals, as if they were a soothing balm,
It revives my soul, restores my calm.
Your touch ignites, a blazing spark,
So fierce it starts a fire right in the dark.  
My love for you runs deep and wide,
A rushing tide which I cannot hide.
Just to steal a beat, added with fleeting rhyme,
To stand with you Ray—in forever’s time.

You can blaze like fire, maybe a shooting star,
You can slash through the dark and charge afar.
You can smash the chains, you can leap the walls,
No one can stop your future's call.
No rope can bind you, no cage can hold,
You will crush the rock, you can break the mold.
Your heart ignites, your spirit flies,
You can color the sky where shadows die.
But when the storm seems to begin to fade,
A soft hand cuts through the shade.
They are not one to control, they don't demand,
Yet they stand like trees on your land.
You need no lead, your spark's alive,
But the soft hand warm hold helps you thrive.
Like roots that split the biggest stone apart,
They've got your back, they hold your heart.

In the quiet space of friendship,
is a place in which we fly
Not lovers, but friends under the same
stars in the same big, old sky.

Our bond, like a tapestry, threaded
and woven with care.
A sweet, pure friendship with such beautiful flair—

No need for the moon to whisper into our ear,
for there's  laughter, stories, and music we hear.

It's in this friendship dance that we do.
We both seem like mirrors,
reflecting each other.
A bond that's pure, almost
like sister and brother.

So here's to something that
will live on like space—
this friendship with you,
time cannot erase.

For in the end, you and I wll always be
such wonderful friends.

A love that's sweet and tender we share,
Like a garden tended to with nurturing care.
Each touch, a gentle pruning, makes each flower grow.
It's like the touches that we share, the ones I always want to know.
Just like the sunlight beating down upon the growing ground,
This love shines with such brightness, the brightest all around.
With rich soil that helps the flowers grow strong,
I'm so glad it's your love that finally came along.
Each plant is rooted perfectly, secure in the ground.
Your love makes me feel blessed, growing and rooted, safe and sound.
So, like a garden growing and thriving every day,
I'm glad I get to experience everything we do in such a beautiful way.

Baby, our piercing gaze could shatter glass,
I’d lose myself in your endless eyes each day that is to pass
A magnetic pull binds my heart to stay.
I pray to the stars our bond never fades away.  
You’re destined to walk this path by my side,
Your thoughts weave gently through my mind.
No fear in the fire that sparks between us,
A love so fierce, there’s no need to fuss.  
This furnace of passion burns ever so bright,
A flame for you, my eternal light.
By serendipity’s grace, our love will not wane,
Forever united, through joy and through our loves eternal flame.

Have you ever gazed into the eyes of your soul's other half,
Where dreams weave a winding, almost  enchanted path?
How do you tell him your heart yearns for more than he sees,
His presence a fire that sets your soul so free?
His being consumes, a great gift to this earth,
Worth more than gold, a treasure of worth.
His eyes paint a landscape, a vision so wide,
A world deep within where I’d love to reside.  
If fate offered choices, I’d choose him each day,
His darling, his sweetheart, forever I'd stay.
With honey-sweet whispers, our love would unfold,
Bound by his gaze, more precious than gold.

Once I took my hand and placed it in your palm,
I realized you'd be my place of calm.
My someone I could count on when things don't go so right,
You calm me down and speak words that settle my mind's fight.
You love me on my bad days and all the days between,
You'll never know how amazing it is with you whom I am seen.
I wrote these words down straight from my head to you.
Wait, that's not right, no, that's not at all true.
These words come from inside, deep down in my heart.
Once I placed my hand in yours, you grabbed me by the heart.

I hate that I have to miss you;
It makes me very sad.
But I love that I have someone to miss,
Because that makes me very glad.
It makes me love you even more
When I get to see you again.
It makes me happy, smiling ear to ear,
Just the same as when our love began.
You have a special hold on me;
I’m surely glad you do.
‘Cause, baby, you’re my sweet man;
There’s nothing I wouldn’t do for you.
You still make me get butterflies
Whenever we’re together.
It’s the best feeling, getting these butterflies,
Because you make me feel so much better.
I feel content around you;
You are my greatest calm.
You bring me peace with your presence;
You’ve brought me that all along.
When I hate that I have to miss you,
Wishing I was always by your side,
There’s nothing I’d trade to be with you
On this life’s beautiful ride.

Hearts cry
Sudden rush of emotion
This may be tears or fears
The faster the heart beat the more cry
Hearts ache

Time drags slow, a terrible ache,
Distance small large, Yet when the motion  can makes my spirit break.
Yes, no ring, no vow, no married tie,
Yet your love lifts my soul to the sky.
  
Your words, they pour from a heart so true,
Spark my smile, make my world brand-new.
Not just sweet talk or a fleeting glance,
But depths of feeling that make my heart dance.  
Our bond still sings, though it’s stretched and worn,
But silence stings where your warmth was born.
You’d ache, you’d be said, and your heart would cry,
Now days slip past, and I wonder why.   your voice would fly,
Now I hunt echoes, chasing where you lie.
Are you fading, my love, slipping away?
Or does your heart still beg me to stay?  
From the start, you’ve burned in my mind’s core,
My love, my light, I could not adore more.
Though time and space try to tear us apart,
You’ll pulse forever in the beat of my heart.

He can make me laugh any day.
He can make me melt with his sweet forehead kiss.
He can make my love grow stronger for him in every way.
He can take one step away from me, and It's him I already miss.
He can say "I love you" to me, and he knows I love him the same, if not more.
He can light this heart of mine on fire when he looks my way.
He can hug this woman better than she has ever been hugged before.
He can kiss me ever so gently, my sweet Ray.
He can kiss me so passionately that our mouths become in sync.
He can make me happy when no one else can.
He can almost read my mind, as if he knows what I think.
He can make a simple phone call and make me feel like he is my fan.
He can make me feel all kinds of indescribable.
He can make me feel beautiful, and I truly believe it.
He can make time for me whenever he is able.
He will have me forever because this love will never quit!

For some crazy reason, she's jealous of me; her eyes like darts on my form.

Is it my silly smile or my artistic ways? But what she doesn't know is, I want her place.

I'd easily take her spot by him,

where she sits, where she lays. Man,

I could be with him in her spot for days.

He sees her hair, hears her laugh, and he sleeps so close;

her name is spoken in his voice.

But she doesn't know I’d give up all I am to be her, in his heart, his only choice.

She guards him fiercely but doesn’t see him as clearly as me.

But she doesn't know I’d trade so much to be.

I walk away, knowing this can't be true, yet still I dream

of being her,
but she doesn't know he's still my everything.

He says I’m rotten,
I say he’s sweet,
Looking at us both,
We share something super neat.

He says I’m beautiful,
I say he’s handsome,
We both together
Make some beautiful connection.

He says I’m a great kisser,
my lips are tender too.
I say he is amazing,
showing what our lips can do.

He says I’m sappy,
Well, he’s sappy too,
We both are the sappiest
Trees out in the mountain view.

He says I’m thinking about you,
I say I feel you thinking about me,
We both get tingles,
and feel very warm.

He says, “Have I told you how much I miss you today?”
I say, “Baby, you can tell me as many times as you can,
Because I’ve been telling you probably just as often.”
He says, “Baby, I’m sure it’s just as much as I’ve missed you.”

He says he feels like he’s in a dream.
I say, “You’re not.”
But baby if we're dreaming, baby, please don’t let them wake us up!

This man beholds a golden heart within his chest cavity.
This golden heart within his chest, I feel, beats fiercely for me.
This heart of gold that he bestows is gentle, sweet, and kind.
He takes this heart and shares his gold with me on his mind.
When he loves and truly gives some of this gold to me,
he gives me so much gold from his love it makes me feel so free.
So when he tells me, "You're worth your weight in gold,"
It makes me smile so bright and bold.
This heart of gold has filled me full of love from him.
This gold from his heart I will cherish as a gem.
His heart of gold that he beholds, he may not think he's worthy,
but his heart I surely love; I'll gladly hold it with me.

When you hold onto me...
It's the thread from my heart to your heart that pulls me closer.

The way our fingers intertwine
Like a puzzle missing its special piece.
We fit together theres no separating us with time.

I will have you hold me however you can.
There are no questions needed,
You never have to ask.
As long as you're holding onto me however you can.
I know that I'm safe and I feel that way when you hold onto me just as I am.

Every touch you grace me with feels gentle and simply sweet.
I feel seen, I want you to always hold onto me.

Being held in your arms feels like we've been doing this forever.
You know where to hold me and I know where to hold you.

Im being held by my heart so please always hold me however, whenever you can.
