As the world disappears into your rearview mirror,
A brand new chapter in life draws nearer.
Don’t look back in sadness, but awe.
All the pain and heartache, you survived it all.
A beautiful flower left in the shade for years,
Heading towards sunshine, without any fears.
You come to me with arms spread wide,
We both smile, there’s no more need to hide.
I love you like the sun loves the flower,
Every day from now on, this is OUR hour.

Date 1, date 100
Date many, date none.
Millions to choose from,
But of me, there’s only 1.
Days will go on,
They will set with the sun,
Forever I’ll be,
Someone else’s number 1.

Cry
Id cry too,
Cry for me,
Cry for you,
Cry every time you see the color blue.
Cry alone in bed,
Cry each night after the prayers that are said.
Fill a bucket full of tears,
Those aren’t yours anymore,
Give them here.

I gaze to the sky so late in the night,
Knowing you’re out there though not quite within sight.
Not a cloud to see, it’s clear as can be.
How you wound up with me is still a mystery indeed.
Fate must be at work, this much must be true,
I am so small, very little, almost nothing without you.
You light up the night, help me see in the dark,
Together united both match and a spark.
Well always be together, let’s not forget to enjoy the view
You’re my moon, my sun, my Venus… mon tout

Many things left undone,
Even more left unsaid.
No describing the pain,
Seeing him on my side of the bed.
The path of forgiveness is a labyrinth of hurt,
I'm simply lost and afraid.
All is gone now,
No love left to be made.
Heart in a blender,
The puzzle has begun.
All I want now is to put it back together,
Turn the broke and many,
To One.

Fueled by earth coals from our soul.
Love is an eternal flame.
Alone we are but a pilot,
Light, which is faint in the dark.
Looking for our match to turn up the heat,
Not too much,
Not too little,
Just enough,
Some call it a spark.
Cupids arrow can create holes in our soul,
Fire ****** out by heartless and cold.
Shriveled to nothing,
It fades away,
Until the cosmos sends kindling our way.
Awaken whats hidden,
Recharge whats within,
We rise up tall, let the healing begin.
Live on, keep the thermostat set,
This journey is just beginning,
We’ve only just met.

I love you for what you are,
I love you for what you’re not.
What I thought used to be love,
Has simply become an afterthought.
Perfection on a whole new level,
I can’t get enough of you,
Our souls intertwine sharing energy,
Blurring the lines between anything else within view.
We have created a new language of love,
Spoken only by two,
Felt by none,
We are the few.
Walk with me hand in hand,
Destination unknown,
Toes buried in the sand.
Light of my life,
Sunshine through the clouds,
I dream for the day I call you “ my wife”.

— The End —
