The tide hides the shore
But if you have the patience to wait
Slowly, it will recede, revealing the most
Beautiful parts, the most sensitive parts
The parts few others ever get to see

Kindness works in mysterious and strange ways
It can often seem like cruelty
Fruitless and merciless
How the worst things happen
To the best of people
It sometimes seems unfair

But in the end, it all has meaning
A hidden purpose that fate decided
That kindness comes to those who can see
The light at the end of tunnel
And make it through the darkness in between

Nothing in life
Prepares you for
The moment when you meet
Your everything:

My love, my lover
My light, my listener,
My stars and my guide,
My angel from heaven.

All my life
I waited.
Now all I can do
Is cry.

Because I know
That when all else fails me
I will wake up
Looking into your eyes.

Overwhelmed
By happiness when I’m with you
And sadness when I’m not.
By fear for what is to come
And solace in what already has.

I think I never understood
The concept of love,
As I grasp
Not one emotion
But every emotion, all at once.
Singing and dancing in beautiful harmony
In my heart, all for you.

Can you hear?
Can you feel it now?
Under the palm of your warm hand
Lying at rest
On my bare, naked chest.

This silence is enough
To speak a thousand million words,
Because those three words are not enough;
Love does not speak in tongues,
It speaks in hearts.
In our hearts.

So, I may be overwhelmed.
I may detach myself sometimes.
I may cry myself to sleep,
In silent gratitude.
Just know, whatever I may seem
Whatever you may feel
I will always love you
As our hearts know the truth,
And always will.

Shaking but I'm not cold
Lost for words but speaking clearly
Darlin’ I think you feel it
This energy that connects us, because

Emotions don’t usually get the better of me
But I must have saved all my love for you
Because I can't help thinking about us two
Everything single second, and
If I stole your heart,
Then you arrested mine, as

I picked up the signs
Read between the lines
Pressed my leg closer to yours
Now I'm falling off the sofa
But it's not the only way I'm falling.

Now my eyes have found yours,
Deep blue and soft; untouched.
You smile from cheek to cheek
Thinking exactly that which I can’t say
That

Love is not a choice,
But it isn’t blind
For love gave me the clarity to see
The only thing that matters, because

Side by side and
Lip to lip
With hands held between,
Alone or not
It’s only us
When I'm with you.

The truth has set in now, nestled
Deeply, rooted in your heart so you will
Never forget.
Don't let me forget either
That

Two hearts crafted were for one fit, so
With care and compassion
We may build something to last
So you can be forever mine.
You are forever mine

I might exaggerate sometimes
But I swear, I don’t imagine it.
Those eyes tell me everything I need to know,
So, are you sure you want to go so soon?

Come with me now, baby
The rain outside is still heavy
Just lie here with me
And we can act casually.

I know you have your problems;
I have mine too.
But they don’t define us.
We refine them.

The future may be scary,
But here in my arms so tightly
You don’t have to be wary
Or worry for what is to come

We’ve come this far
But there is still a way to go,
So much to enjoy,
So much to explore.

Just enjoy this moment,
Where you can feel safe and free
Because it’s not over
Even if we aren’t together
Forever.

I met you in spring,
Feelings nurtured to bloom:
My heart grew there too.

Like trying to read a book
Without opening the cover
I need your help now
To turn the pages
And guide me through.
