Have I ever told you When I stand still I can hear the beating of your heart, Beating along with mine? Have I ever told you When my arms feel empty I hug myself and, somehow, I feel the warmth Of your body embracing mine? Have I ever told you when I’m missing you I close my eyes and in my mind I’m safe in your arms? Have I ever told you No matter how this world separates us We are still one person Until the end of time?
Love… …keeps you close always. You are alive in my heart, constant in my thoughts and permanently mingled with my soul. There is no separate “me” anymore; only you and I; us.
My heart is intoxicated with its love for you. Never has anyone loved as I love you; and I repeat to you, with rapture, that I will devote each moment of my life to prove my affection.
All the others were to make me ready for you. I had to learn what did not make me happy. I had to learn how I made them unhappy. One by one they came and went, teaching me how to recognize you when you come into my life. I’m waiting…
I don’t want the heavens or the shooting stars. I don’t want gemstones or gold… I want… a steady hand. A kind soul. I want to fall asleep, and wake, knowing my heart is safe.
