Loving You

A smile on your face
Cheerful thoughts to fill your days
A heart full of happy moments
For someone who is heaven-sent.

Two hands to hold you near
To stop all those tears
Share with you all the sadness
Because it’s you I love the best.

Two arms to keep you warm
Protect you from any harm
Stay strong to face your fears
For it’s you, I’ve loved all these years.

One heart that cares so much
To another soul, I long to touch
When my chance came at last
Time went by so very fast.

Three times, I burned your heart
Left you wounded, alone, and scarred.
This time, you’re gone for good.
I never really did all that I could.

You told me if this is the love I feel
That I give you five more years to heal.
Because loving you means more to me
So now honey, I am setting you free.
