I know you... you're the song I knew by heart before we ever met;
My warm thoughts when the nights were as cold as they could get.
You're the sweet smile of every blue-eyed boy I see.
Wherever you are... is where I long to be.

I know you... you're that walk I love taking along the shore.
You're the wind in my hair when I'm feeling free.
The one who knows my thoughts and says them,
Sometimes, even before me.

I know you... you're the sea air caressing my cheek;
The rose on my pillow that lets me know I can still love...
That sunrise, so amazing it takes my breath away;
The clouds that feather the summer sky above.

But sometimes I wonder if you really feel it, too.
I wonder if you know me... the way I know you.

Love, frozen in the arms of time's rigid confines 
Bound by society's rights and wrongs 
Pleas for understanding unheard by mute-rigid culture 
To live within these bounds is painful 
To love within these bounds, torturous 
Two souls reaching, as one, for love's 
precious possession 
Only to be beaten by other's evil thoughts. 

Love, that most powerful of all emotions, 
is powerless 
in the face of society. 
Why can not those binding confines 
be broken? 
Why must society's mores be so rigid? 
What right has society to stop love 
when it cannot stop war? 
Damnit! 

Let us not waste tears on what cannot be 
But rather rejoice in what is 
What we have had, what we will have. 
Let us not dwell on what might have been 
but rather on what is allowed to us, 
For most people are not even allowed that. 

Love is allotted to a few special people; 
those that can truly understand its pain 
and its glory 
For without that pain there can be no love, 
merely companionship. 
To say "I love you" is not enough 
for it reaches far beyond that. . . 
into 'friendship' and faith 
and understanding. 

To hold you, for thoughts to merge as one, 
to caress you, 
look at you 
embrace you 
is but a facet of love. 

I, with humble and sometimes trite words, try to 
explain and exclaim my love 
but it is impossible 
to bind a soul to paper. 

Love Is! 
 
Just one day
To hear your voice
To see you smile
To feel your love

Helped me to see hope
I had been losing sight of

Just a few words
Of encouragement from you
Of knowing no matter how long
You would always come back

Helped me know
I don't have to worry

Still a lifetime
To work on becoming
All the things
You say I can be

You give me a reason
To want to keep trying

Never too late
To change and grow
To see the things
You told me were there

I almost lost sight of trying to find them
I could no longer see through my veil of tears

Just one day 
of your presence again
Helped me to wipe 
those tears away
And see the love and light from your spirit
That always helped me find my way

You said that you thought of me often
And talked to me when the stars were so bright

Telling me how you always were with me
Never more than a whisper away

When pure love and faith are given so freely
Just one day seems like a lot
 
I was not looking for you, 
but somehow you found me.
You always bring out deep emotions, 
letting me know this was meant to be.
Two souls on a guided path, 
who in the past some how got lost,
now destined to be together, 
no matter what the cost.
The way you look at me without saying a word, 
I know what you are thinking of.
This is more than just two hearts beating, 
this is two souls destined for love.
 
 
I sit alone with dreams of you
Just hoping that you really knew
How deep in my heart love does grow
Like forevermore the river flows.

The darkness of night closes all around
This is when I hear every sound,
I hear the words that you do speak
As my love reachs its highest peak.

Daylight comes with you on my mind
I now know your love was so kind,
The love I was left with, so warm and tender
Will always be when you did surrender.

So now in my life you will always be
Like in the earth does grow the oak tree,
Its tangled limbs reach to the sun
My arms reach for you and can not be undone.
 
True love is when two 
people fall head over heals for
each other,
When two people ask each
other whether or not they 
want to spend the rest of
their lives with one another.
If true love hits you,
You can't stand to be one
moment away from the opposite sex,
In some people's minds true love is
totally and completly a witch hex.
   
 
my sunny sky,
my sweetest gift, 
my best friend 
until the end,
my inspiration,
my destination,
my day and night,
my pain reliever,
my spring fever,
my heart and soul,
my life made whole,
my "up" when I'm down,
my best chance,
my morning sun,
my source of laughter,
my everafter,
my heaven sent,
for who I'm meant
my burning fire,
my dream lover,
my common sense,
my reason why
until I die
I still love you
You let me go,
You found someone new.
I just want you to know,
That I still like you.
You let me go,
You went away.
You did know,
That I wanted you to stay.
You let me go,
You didn't care.
You had to know,
You were my care bear.
My life is so empty,
Without my love.
You should have kept me,
I think of you, every night.
I wish I knew,
How to make things right.
I never will forget,
You and I.
From the first day we met,
Till the day I die.
It's hard to keep going,
Day after day.
Take comfort in knowing,
That I'll find a way.
I will move on,
I'll find someone new.
But my one chance is gone,
For someone like you.
You let me go,
You found someone better.
I just want you to know,
That I still love you.
Forever and  ever.
 
Near the ocean
The waves engulf the sands
While I write this
Thinking of your hands

At the park
The children laugh and play
While I'm smiling 
Thinking of your day

In my bed
The shadows mark the wall
While I'm thinking
Of how you gave your all

In Heaven
The streets are made of gold
While I'm looking down
Watching you grow old

Near the gates
You're finishing your strife
Now we are complete
For everlasting life
