When I look at you
I see how far you've come
and the person I have become.
I see the paths we've chose,
and the mistakes we've made.
Felt the broken heart,
the hopeless love
the lines of laughter upon our brow...
from the nights laying sleepless
from a case of missing you.
Or the laughter that filled the room...
I seen the moments of weakness
and the moments of strength
where you held me high at my lowest
and I loved  you unconditionally at your worst.
Gave faith in your dreams
and prayed that love may fill you.

When I look at you
I see a day in November
when everything changed.
The day I found what was missing...
A man who loves unconditionally
and kisses me on my cheek
and holds my cold body gently to  sleep.
Tucks the blankets under my chin
as my hand rest upon his chest.
I get lost in the rhythm
of his  beautiful heart beat.
It was a moment of pure joy
to hear what makes him tick.
To feel his emotions
too hold him vulnerable...
beautiful... asleep.
Good night babe...
When I look at you
I remember the day I felt again
It is strange how the smallest things can effect us in the most profound way,
how you could learn to love relentlessly without fear.
For even if it all came to end,
the sweet bitter fate of it all would make every kiss sweeter.
I  love  *you
