I am the lover of you
I am the lover of your soul, your heart, your body, your mind
I long to be with you
To sit at the creek’s edge with you, wading our feet in the cool water
And soaking up the warmth of the sun with you
Splashing you and laughing with you
I long to dream with you
To lay with you beneath the stars and tell stories
To hold you close and tight in my arms
And to listen to you breathe deep in your sleep
With the peace I give you
I long to listen to you speak
I love your voice and hearing you say my name
The sound of your voice brings me deep joy
The songs you hum make my entire day
Even when you have to work hard to sing them
I desire to carry you and uphold you
I desire to set my spirit loose upon you and my fire within you
And cast the light of the sun and the moon upon your face
Though, to me, you’ve always been glowing with every-increasing glory
I long to be with you
I long to be yours and for you to be mine
I long to have you and for you to have me
This is a love story
I want to read it to you, here, by this river
Watch it unfold with me, in the smooth surface of the water
Smile at our reflections together, you and I
You and I
