To The One I Love

The look in his eyes, the sound of his voice
They make my heart glad and my spirit rejoice
The feel of his body, the kiss of his lips
Sends warmth radiating through my fingertips

People ask me, "Why do you feel like this?"
"How can you speak of such bliss?"
I speak these emotions, so real and profound
Because such feelings should not be bound

When you fold me up in those big, strong arms
I feel safe and calm from the world's harms
You settle my fears from the thunderous storm
And when I feel cold, you always keep me warm

While I stroked your face, kissed your chin
While you allowed your beard to brush my skin
Oh how my heart soared, how I felt so fine
Because now I was yours, as you were now mine

So I'll end this now with one final thing
Just to tell you that you make my heart sing
Our love will always remain true
Because I will love you and only you.
