Your words inspire me to heights I have never known
They light the darkened inner reaches of my soul
They speak to the emptiness that ruled my life
They filled me with peace where only chaos dwelled
You are the breeze that whispers through the trees
You are the life giving air that I breathe
You sent the snowflakes that caress my face
And the song that now reigns supreme in my heart
Your words are the sustenance of my body and mind
They give me strength to face the morning light
They are a beacon in a fog-enshrouded night
You give me hope where once there was none
So many questions are coursing through me now
Such as: where have you been all of my life?
How did I live this long without knowing your name?
I have dreamt and fantasized my entire life
Of someone like you but never thought I would ever find
I have never known a love this strong
Your thoughts and desires are ones that I share
You read my contemplations before I have a chance to know they are there
How do you do that?
Where did you come from and where are you going?
I want to go with you to that destination
I want to share your life and all of your musings
I want to know your dreams and all of your aspirations
It has taken destiny so many years to unite us
So much sand has passed through the hourglass of time
I don’t want to waste the gift I have been given
I want to live out my fantasies and dreams with you
I want to wake up in your arms at the break of dawn
And still be together long after the sun has gone
Your words are the same as destiny has spoken
We are of one mind, heart, body, and soul
Our song will play in our joined hearts long after the beating has been quelled
