The warmth in my heart and soul for you
your nearness that makes me whole.
My arms encircle you
keeping your pain at bay.
My love for you sweeps you away
starts to heal you
for all your pain and heartache
I begin to repay you.
Your heart I begin to lighten
even as your smile, starts to brighten my darkened spirits.
The radiance of your soul causes me to falter
and begin to stare.
Your inner beauty brings tears to my eyes
ever as your outter beauty causes certian things to arise.
Your understanding of my pain
your willingness to help me bear
the burdens under which I strain
has amazed me once again.
The pain I feel in you as you cry, steals my breath
nearly breaks my heart.
You shed warmth and light in my soul
where it has been dark and cold for far too long.
Your belief in me, makes me wonder at what I do not see
your care and compassion, start to melt
the ice that had begun to enclose my heart.
The openness and bluntness with which you confess
your feelings, shames me.
I truly wish I could make you see
I truly wish I could shout out for all to hear
that I do realize I am so very lucky.
Over my life you have no say
but in my heart I want you to stay.
