I LOVE YOU

I love the breeze in your hair,

The way it whispers that I'm there,

Comforting your broken body.

I love the way you smile through the pain,

When you know things aren't the same,

How you always forgave me when I was sorry.

-

I love your Cupid bow lips,

When you sing and sway your hips,

The friction of your skin rubbing against mine.

I love the way my heart breaks,

Every time you leave before I wake,

The pain makes all this worth my time.

-

I love the sight of your tears,

Over the fact I've been gone for years,

Because it's proof you still think of me.

I love the candles you set,

Over the place we first met,

Even though I'm now your history.

-

I love the way you still pray,

Every hour, every day,

For God to give me peace.

For you still feel my presence,

Cold whispers, my very essence,

Praying desperately for my release.

-

I love that you can't understand,

I'm bound to you by your hand,

Because you loved me so well.

That's why I'll choose you,

A place with God simply won't do,

For you I'll suffer the greatest hell.

-

I love how I can't say goodbye,

I've lost count of the times I've tried,

Your face is what I look to.

So your side I must stay,

Carefully avoiding the ache,

I love the way I love you.
