I never knew
your touch could make me
weak in the knees,
just how much I could love you
with every beat of my heart.
It feels like i've known you
forever, all my days.
My heart beats for you,
my smile is only for you.
You stole the galaxies from the sky
and set them alight in my dimples,
leaving the world glowing in ways
I never imagined were possible
and forcing me to wonder
if perhaps the world never looked so sweet
because you weren’t at my side.
I trust you
in ways I’ve trusted no one else,
leaving my scar-marred heart within your chest
so that you might keep better watch over it
then all others who’ve ever held it in their palms
(because they always seemed to have a habit
of letting it drop from their fingers
and shatter upon the concrete).
But you painstakingly took the time
to piece my broken heart back together
and put it in a glass safe where
only you could touch it.
You made my love yours,
for eternity and beyond.
I want to wake
with your warm breath mingling with mine
in the deepest sunrise,
your arms circling my waist
hearts beating against one another
in a slow steady rhythm that speaks
volumes about our everlasting love.
You put me back together
with more than just false words and rubber cement,
stretching a hand out
to catch me in your palms
as if my fall would break your smile.
I want to fall asleep
knowing I’m safe through the night;
I want to link my fingers with yours
and travel through dreamworld together,
as if the sun only sets
so that we might awaken to another day.
Take my hand,
lead me into wonderland,
our own perfect paradise.
Love me like i'm your one and only.
I want to be your fairy tale princess
with a flowy gown made of blue silk,
soft to the touch and made for me.
I want to feel your lips soft against mine
as you rescue me from my everyday.
Your words like caresses whispered softly
into my ever-waiting ears.
Whisk me away into ForeverLand,
promising me nothing but the pleasure
of your smile tied with mine
and the hopes that you will stay with me
through fiery moments of topsy-turvy-tangles
and a thousand storms we might never make it through otherwise.
I don’t want to lose you
to the stars of tomorrow
or the clouds of goodbye
when you’ve written your name beside mine
in our own glowing constellations
and have lifted me up on feathered wings.
When the snow falls,
are you going to be there in a picture perfect scene
holding me tightly as we sit by the fire sipping hot chocolate
sneaking long kisses sparked by longing in our eyes
promising nights forevermore to be spent in each others arms.
Kiss me now,
its my goodnight wish, good luck charm.
Sparkling eyes shining like the stars in heaven
smiling down on the peaceful ending of another day
made brighter with the promise of love ever after
safe in your heart for me.
Steal my breath away
and store it in our memory books
and write our memories
into a thousand bed-time stories
made for lovers and forever-couples,
because just one glance
at that burning look in your eyes
is enough to make me want to keep you foralways.
Love me
as you’ve never loved anyone else,
and baby,
I’ll hold you higher
than the moon
with the strength of my love for you,
because all I need
are your palms encircling mine
and the smile on your face
that says I’m yours.
