The Things that I See

You stand before me,
and I before you,
at the beginning of
forever,
the start of together-
And I wonder what our future will bring us...

 

Will we smile everyday?
Will we laugh in a way that lets everyone around us
know that we'll always stay,
forever friends first,
for better or worse,
laughing for no reason,
despite time, space or season?

 

And if we're blessed to become lovers, to never forget,
to live life everyday and never regret,
the time that we share, or the gift of showing we care
about each other's emotions
as the price of devotion-
Gets a little bit higher every day.

 

Let's kiss when we can and I pray that it's often,
let's miss one another when we're apart.
If you can make me this promise,
my promise to you
is you'll always be first in my heart.
I'll give you the key to my heart that unlocks most of its doors;
I say most 'cause there are some I can't yet open.
But with you by my side
on this magical ride,
we can rip down the 'Caution' tape
and break all the seals
and we'll stand under the sign
that says:

 

'All Secrets Revealed'.

 

Let's watch candle lit movies
and share walks in the rain,
let's hold hands and hug again and again.
I'll watch you when you sleep
and imagine I'm with you,
lost in forever,
'cause that's how long I'll be
with you.

 

I guess what I'm saying
is I have such I good feeling,
and my heart knew this from the
moment I met you;
That your heart should be cherished,
and should I ever perish,
I could love you from the
depths of my grave.

 

Ruby red violets and a royal blue rose,
from the hair on your head
to your beautiful toes;
Although we're just friends now,
I mean... aren't we friends?
My heart has a plan for you that time cannot end.
I want to be what your life needs
and all you desire,
put my heart to the test,
as it's been through the fire.

 

I really can't explain this
in any better way,
but I've been caught in your spell,
and this is how it will stay.

 

Ask me if I can see the future, my answer will be...
No...

 

I see you, I see me,
I see a love that can grow.
