In hopes...
I wish I could open my heart to you,
To let all that was in come out.
My heart would know the words to say,
My heart would have to shout.
I don't know what to do with them,
Or how to spell it out.
But these feelings that I have inside,
I have, there is no doubt.
A smile breaks across your face,
Like waves on summer sand.
On my birthday cake I wished,
To wake holding your hand.
I lose myself inside
Silent pools of bluish grey.
I'd willingly release my soul
To eyes that held that way.
Your spirit lifts me up
To heights that once I could not see.
Your kindness, warmth, and caring
Are precious gifts to me.
The things that make you sad,
I wish I had the power to erase.
By holding you within my arms,
A simple warm embrace.
My eyes, they don't deceive me,
What they see is true.
The definition of beauty
Is how I think of you.
I write this in the hope
That making clear my plea
Will in some way influence you
To take a chance on me.
I know that I'm not perfect,
I may even have some flaws.
But knowing you improves in me
All that may be wrong.
And if this must remain a dream
That never seems to wake,
Then every night I'll dream again,
The dreams that love can make.
