The Gift of Loving You

Everything...
You make me see that everything
is not black and white,
everything is not what it seems...
You make me aware
when you're there...

Now I see that
maybe someday,
you can share to me
that tiny unimportant bit of you...
The bit that I love...
The bit that I crave to see because I'm too afraid to say three things...
I love you...
I love you!
I love you and there is nothing that could ever change that
because you are the gift I wish to see
wrapped beautifully, strategically, thoughtfully...beneath my Christmas tree.
You are the person I want jumping out of my birthday cake
to make all those days that you had been gone...suddenly disappear.

But out of all of those things,
I want to see you...
So I can tell you...
How much you matter to me,
how many times you have saved my life,
how many times you have wiped away my tears without lifting a single finger,
how many times you made me smile when I thought I never could,
how many times you made me laugh when I gave up and took life a little too seriously,
how many times you made me think about all the stuff that seemed...unimportant,
and I really want to see you...
So I can tell you..
How much I love you...

A couple of lines in here made me think that this is a long distance relationship. "Wiping away my tears without lifting a single finger." Well, if that's not what it's about, that's what I got of it anyway. The Christmas tree line is quite unique. Nicely penned.

[Melody]

Lol. I guess for the speaker it could be. :) Thank you. I quite enjoy the Christmas tree line myself...Instead of a ring it's a person. Lol. Thank you, glad you enjoyed reading it.
