FOREVER YOURS
For long, I fantasized about my man
My knight in shining armor
Who would protect me and cherish me
As long as my life ran
But reality was more beautiful
Than everything I had ever dreamt of
I found my happiness in a handsome stranger
Whom I grew to love, forever
With sparkling eyes that spoke of
Love, trust and loyalty
With a naughty smile that dazzled
My very core
With a childlike heart like no other
YOU became my Prince Charming
And I no longer wanted another
I thought you adored me no less
And that we were joyous together
I thought we knew each other
Better than anyone else knew us
Better than we knew ourselves
How then could you forget me so easily
How then are you away from me
How then could you shatter my heart
How then can you grow apart
I long for your loving arms
To encircle me like before
I seek your shoulder
That held my tears
Soothing my fears
I pine for your tender kisses
That filled me with peace
And your gentle caress
That brought me to my knees
I miss your thoughtful gestures
That made me feel special
And your sweet fragrance
That made my heart swell
Why don't you ever cry out to me
Why don't you realize that you complete me
Why don't you ever read the pleas in my eyes
Why don't you even try
YOU are my life
And your distance cuts me like a knife
Every moment, for YOU, I cry
Stop ignoring me so, lest I die
I realize now that nothing has changed
For I still dream about my knight
Morning and night….
Only now I know..
That my knight is YOU, my love is YOU, my man is YOU
YOU are the essence of my life…YOU make my soul soar
And I ache for the day when you
Will dream of me again
I ache for the day when you
Will love me back again
Just like you loved me before
Just like I love YOU, always
Never forget that I want nothing more
