My All

it was a risk I gather, to follow my heart
as I can't find my way back to before
nor would I want to,
not really, for I've known such happiness here
in the light of your love
experienced pure joy
ecstasy even,
scattered with storms, unexpectedly
when those dark clouds loomed large on that horizon
but that's life,
together we'll manage, somehow
I'm here for the long term, I've decided
regardless,
it's you and no other ...

many have tried, both in your life and mine
yet, here we are
still standing, our eyes on tomorrow
great expectations await,
let us gather our courage
strengthen our resolve,
and toss out those nagging suspicions
spiked with doubt,
sprinkled with fear ...

take my hand with your heart
I'm yours for the asking
you're all I can see and believe in,
scary, it's true
I'm petrified,
but so willing to be here with you
in the smiles of our love,
the truth of our being
tell me, you feel this way, too ...

there's no other that sends my heart racing
the thought of you has captured my soul,
your kiss, inexplicable
your touch, amazing
your love,
my true treasure
my all ...
