An Ode To You

To hear you say that you want me,
To hear you say that you love me,
Bringing a smile to my face,
One that I can't remove right now,
Thinking of you,
In the way I know how.

Let me be the one,
Your one and only,
The one that you love,
Cherish and adore.
The one who loves you dearly,
The one who trusts you completely,
The one who believes in you,
Who will always believe in you.

It's strange how two hearts,
Combine as one,
If one heart would stop beating,
The other one slowly shall too.

We're so many miles apart,
But we have each other’s hearts,
They won't beat forever,
So cherish it while you can.

I lie alone at night,
Staring out into the cold dark night,
Knowing that you are asleep,
Tucked in from any harm,
Snuggled up in your bed,
Wishing you was here instead.

If I could,
I would move heaven and earth,
Just to be with you,
Even if it was just for one day.

A day would never be enough,
For you and I,
So many things to say to you,
I'm sure I would run out of time.

I'd watch and listen to you,
With so much love,
I'm sure that you'll get paranoid,
With every cheeky smile.

Our time together,
Would be so worthwhile,
Just to hold you in my arms,
Would be sufficient enough for me,
To remember that moment,
Years from now,
Will always bring back the tears to my eyes.
