Oh, don't you know
that you hold my soul.
that every beat of your heart
is a beat of mine.
And every breath you take
is a breath that fills my soul.
Oh, you are everything
in this world to me.
And oh, how you have grown
in my heart and soul.
Every memory of you
has taken on the color and hue
of love in my soul.
Your every word and movement
and warm embrace
had become a treasure in my heart
that is beyond
all the treasure that this base earth
could ever hold.
You are a dream come alive
taken solid form
through some mystic force
as though through the magic
of some god or angel
or some force I cannot understand.
When I first saw your lovely frame
it was a though
a light shown from heaven
a glorious golden light
upon your lovely angelic form
I knew in that moment
that I must have your love
or I shall die!
For without you
I cannot bear this loveless life
that would be my lot
in a world where love is a base thing
and such a small word.
And people jeer
and say, " Oh, fool!
Did you think you could
really win her love!
Oh, how you are
but dirt and stone
and no one like her
could ever love you!"
Oh, no living creature
has ever gazed
upon a thing even of half the beauty
of you my dear lovely angel.
And oh, with the passing of time
my love for you
has only grown grown ever deeper still.
till it has outgrown
my wildest imagination.
Oh, I had never thought such a love was possible
as the love I hold for you.
You are the life and blood of my soul
and I can never rest
till I give all in my love for you.
Oh, I know the meaning of life
is in my loving you.
And that I was born for but one thing only
and that is to give all my love to you.
To live with the eternal hope in my soul
to forever hold you in my arms
as long as my soul shall ever be.
Oh, I would bleed dry this mortal coil
and suffer a world
full of pain and torment
just to come and be by your side.
Oh, your heart is a holy temple
and I shall forever worship at its gates.
At the door to your heart
I shall ever beg that in your mercy
that you will give your everlasting love
it me a wretched as I am
for I can find no rest
in my love for you
but I forever live in your arms.
for I know that
you are the other half of my soul
and without you I shall never be whole.
For I am yours
For I am yours because My heart
has told me so.
And through whatever comes
and through whatever goes
my love for you
shall always remain
till the universe passes away
and the stars die one by one
and then we shall ever love
far into that great unknown.
