LOVE ME FOR A LIFETIME

You are my light, my inspiration

In everything you do

I hold you up in admiration

Couldn’t live without you

I smile at your thoughts

And watch the tears in your eyes

I hold my heart so close to you

But you recoil with such surprise

“How could I ever love you

When your thoughts are oh so cold

How could I ever feel your warmth

When your body I cannot hold”

You stand back from all my tears

With your wounded heart and pride

But I love you with such honesty

My hurt I cannot hide

You start to see what’s happening

Know that what I say is true

How much I really need you

Of my love you always knew

Cos I’ll never ever leave you

Nor watch the hurt upon your face

I want to lie with you forever

In this warm and happy space

Be the arms to wrap around you

And the heart to carry on

A love to last a lifetime

When all doubt has been and gone ...
