A Thousand Oceans

I've swimed a thousand oceans
Just to be in your arms
To feel your romantic potions
To experience your charms

I've cried a thousand tears
Just to feel on my face...your touch
To have you help me beat my fears
To let you embrace me as much

To kiss me...
Makes me bloom like a red rose
You make me feel so free
I feel like I can do any perfect pose

To be with you
It's how I would like it to be 
I want to believe I found someone true
Someone who can make me see past the hate
Honesty to feed
To believe that there really is a life time mate

I'll swim a thousand more oceans
Just to be held by you
To share your every emotion
Anything for you is what I'd do

Just to have you by my side
For you to never let go
Your feelings please don't hide
My feelings for you I want to show

To be as one
I hope closer we grow
With you only...I want to go out to have fun
Let our feelings flow
Holding eachother and relaxing in the sun

Believe me when I say
My feelings for you are strong
They get deeper everyday
I just have this gut feeling that we do belong

To start a life together
To share eachothers tear
To protect eachother forever
To never worry about fear

To comfort eachother when we cry
To pick up the one who falls
To tell eachother that the feelings soar to the sky
And when we are apart
To always make "How are you" calls
To promise we'll try not to break eachothers heart

Please just give a chance
Just once believe
That this is true romance
Please just don't ever leave

If things don't work out we can remain friends
Because baby...you... I can never hate
Even if you don't feel the same
I will care for you till the end
Because I will always believe in fate
I'll never forget your name

That's if it's meant to be
God will make it right
He'll bring you back to me 
Then I'll hold onto you so tight
And this time I'm never letting you free

A thousand oceans might not be enough
To show how much I care
To show that I miss you so much
To show that I love your gentle stare

But at least I got that chance to tell my feelings
Since I didn't before
I just hope you don't walk the other way
These feelings I hope you don't ignore
Because then I won't know what to say

Or to make you believe I'm not telling a lie
Because this feeling in my heart isn't fake
Your heart for granted
I wouldn't take

I really do care for you so much
My feelings go higher then any sky
And it seems words right now...just aren't enough
To explain what I go through when I feel your touch

But for now this poem is all I have to show
My feelings towards you
I just hope you know
That every single word on this paper is true
