I think I could watch you sleep all night -
and behind your closed eyes I'll hope there lies a dream -
and I will day dream at midnight -
of a house, no, a home - children - and our love,
our future -
I sit here and listen to you breathing -
uneven breaths - wondering what thoughts are pending -
because I love you too.
I can see you coming home, and our son yells,
"Daddy's home!", and our daughter in my arms - with her newly found smile -
I can see Christmas' and birthdays -
Raking leaves and shoveling snow -
Mud puddles - and grass stained knees -
Boo - boo's and baby teeth - outgrowing clothes every few weeks -
My heart is wrapped up around your love - feeling rather safe,
Feeling rather joyful -
I never thought it possible to smile from the inside out -
I love that you're finally here -
I love that we knew eachother before we knew eachother -
I love that you found me before I found myself -
Hold me close and don't you dare let go -
You're waking up now - yawn and a smile
Mouth, "I love you",
- blow a kiss -
I swear I could have melted then and there -
But instead I smiled, mouthed, "I love you",
- and blew a kiss -
We weren't looking for eachother - always searching in the day-light,
When we should have checked our shadows -
I believe we tripped and fell into this love -
And baby, falling into you had to be the best loss of ballance I've ever had -
I did my best to catch you right back -
The funny thing is that I find it difficult not to let these thoughts
swim through my mind every day - I wouldn't trade them for the world.
I find myself staring at you,
completely consumed in the amazement
That we're finally where we belong -
I'll be in love with you 'til the end of time,
after these past few years,
I can finally call you mine.
