To you, to me

Oh how the years have passed but when I am with you,

all time is vacant, I am so in love with you now.

The way you see me is unlike I have ever allowed,

open chest revealing a heart meant for you.

I put on a face that scares people away,

yet somehow you reach in and know me.

Is it because I love you only we know,

but my world is empty if we are not we.

When I feel your smile I know what trust is,

afraid yes, but you are worth the fear.

As I open my eyes to start the day I need you,

only can I dream when in your arms.

The way everything else disappears when you hold my heart,

I can’t breathe unless I am breathing in you.

There are times of struggle only when apart,

but I know I am loved as you hold onto my heart.

Like a child without fear I am ready to jump,

knowing that your arms will catch me.

Talking in bed as we fall asleep,

even if I mumble words unable to grasp.

I love you for all of the light that you are,

no shadows in my eyes when I see your smile.

I don’t like to wish upon anything but with you,

I wish to always be beautiful to your eyes.

The sun never dies as your light shines in me,

I only wish to be everything to you.
