Forever Yours by Kate DemereeYou are engraved on the very essence of my soul I am happy love in this moment with you I carry your face in my mind through all I do I could live forever lost in your eyes Full of blue sky and clouds Yours are the eyes That spark mine
You touch me in ways Beyond what I have the ability to express Just when I think I have found the bounds The outer limits of what there is I find something new I was tired Tired of living Tired of searching for what I thought never to find I found you Against all odds
I want to write something to you No book will do I want to write to you On the walls of your heart With more than words
When I doubt it is not my ability to love you Nor that you care about me I think it is the child in me Who stares with wonder at something More beautiful than they can comprehend
I sometimes decry All of the things that are put in our paths And curse the clock Nothing in this lifetime is simple No matter how much gets in the way I am here, I will stay
If you opened your hand And I was a bird resting there I would stay no matter how the winds blew I would not fly away
Why should I rush for pen and paper? They in time would crumple and fade Love given and shared only grows Changes as time goes by Never loosing only gaining in depth
They say that there is no original thought That everything we say do or think Has been before And will be again What use then to place the words upon a dusty tome? All I know is, that when I found you When we found each other I found home the words may not need saying You may already know But I do not think in a lifetime I can Ever express that feeling adequately
What is there, I wonder? Why the need to try and find the words Perhaps it is because When we are so far apart Words are all we have at the moment All I have to touch your mind and heart with
Talk to me Tell me Your hopes your dreams All of the things you think in the night When the lights are low and the house is asleep
I have a lifetime to listen And forever To know you
