UNTIL DEATH DO US PART

There is a softness about you 
That filters through 
Just thinking about the little things you do 
Makes me want to embrace you.
When I think of you I think of love 
Living without you is like 
The heavens without its galaxies above.
It is said.. Every eye sees its own beauty 
This is true, O so true 
For my eyes were enlightened 
The very first time I saw you.
You are the oxygen in my atmosphere 
My sunrise and sunset 
You are my most pleasurable excitement 
And the thoughts I cannot  forget.
But I am between a rock and a hard place 
Having to be satisfied with just the memory of your face 
I can never feel your gentle touch or warm embrace 
Because you are someone else's wife.
But as long as I live
I will faithfully carry the wounds 
That unfulfilled desires gives 
To my grave I will depart 
But you my darling love 
Will forever be in my heart.
