How I Came To Love
How I came to love you:
That is no mystery.
From the first moment I saw you,
Heard you laugh,
I knew the way life was before had become history.
You've bewitched me,
I have been charmed.
I've completely fallen,
Helpless,
Yet unharmed.
You've harbored me.
You've made me feel safe,
Loved, wanted.
Special.
How have I repaid you?
What have I done?
To earn all of your trust,
And have it all turn to dust.
I've broken your heart-
A countless number of times.
But every time yours breaks,
So does mine.
But how do I show you?
How can I make you know?
I beg of you,
Feel my love
Without my kisses.
Know my heart pounds
For you,
But at a distance.
We are bound together,
You and I,
We are intertwined.
Thus when I die,
You cry.
This is not the physical death
I know you crave,
No.
Death to earthly desires begets true happiness.
How can I make you know?
How do I make you feel?
I so wish
For you to come with me.
"I love you," I whisper.
Yet you do not believe.
But I so do.
I so do.
I care where you will be eternally.
Of course, I want you in the now,
But I also want you in the always.
How can I make you know?
How do I make you feel?
My love for you.
The kind it is.
There is no greater love I can impart.
To you,
My dear,
Comes nothing but love.
Straight from the heart.
