Distance apart
But still close to your heart
Heavens filled with starry night
Pulling our souls close and tight
Miles separated brings us sorrow
Back in each others arms come tomorrow

Change of Heart
Knowing the pain you feel
Understanding that I’m to blame
Ignorance was what I showed you
Neglecting what you needed
A change to my heart was required
Transformation was what happened
I have no answers to your questions of how and why
All I can say is my heart for you has changed
Wanting you more than I can say
Excited by your touch, stimulated by your essence
Looking in your eyes is spellbinding
Hard to look upon the past
Praying for our future forward
Waiting is all I can do
Leaving is something I can’t
You are my Today, Tomorrow and Forever….
In Your Eyes
In your eyes
Reflecting back at me
I see myself mirrored back
My future with you teasing
Seeing what could be
My past with You tormenting
Seeing what could have been
What I comprehend is a glance
A sight of a love that we pray will grow
In your eyes I see a hope for our future
A sadness of our past
The love we share in the now.
Regrets
Looking back upon my past
So much of it, I see much regret
How I acted and treated the ones I loved
Especially the one who I should have appreciated the most
Denying you the love you deserved
Not showing you how much I truly cared
I left so many words unspoken
I left so many feelings trapped inside
You needed just a few words of reassurance
Words describing how beautiful you are
When I think of the time I have wasted
A fool I was and it almost cost me it all
Today I will not let my heart hide how much I care
Tomorrow I will prove the depths of my love for you
Forever I will stand by your side as your friend, supporter, encourager and lover
I will live from today on forward with no regrets
For I will show you each day the enchantment you have upon my heart
Today, tomorrow and forever my love for you is true
Letting Go
To the love of my life
I must say it is time for me to let go
Time for me to let go of all my issues
Time to let go of all the feelings and emotions I have kept hidden in my soul
Time to let go of holding back on my ability to love and be whole
Time to let go of hiding behind my mask
Time to let go of the wall I created around myself
Time to let my heart go and merge with you
Time for me to let go and be the one you need me to be
It is time to go forward and become the man, husband, friend and lover you always deserved.
Where Do I Go
Sometimes life throws you a curve
Something you should have seen coming
but you are too ignorant to see
Or unable to want to believe
What do I do
Where do I go
I want to fight on
Thinking things can change
Then sometimes doubt
creeps into my mind and make me want out
out of it all, love, life, everything
What do I follow my head or my heart
Do they even know what to do
Please Oh Lord hear my prayer
what am I suppose to do
Love is what I want and to give
Life with my one love is a journey I want to live
Please Oh Lord hear our prayers
Fog
As I walk all around me is nothing
My path covered in a dense fog
Unable to see what is ahead of me
Behind me lost in a cloud that covers me all around
Unable to see the pitfalls and dangers ahead
To scared to turn back at what I’ve passed by
Do I continue on through this unseeing fog
Or should I just lay down and die lost in this maze
If I continue on is there sunshine ahead or a continuous unknown
My head tells me there is no hope of a clear path ahead
My heart says to continue on and have faith that the fog will break and sunshine will light my way
Weary am I but onward I will continue into that unknown
Hoping that somewhere there is open skies ahead
First Impressions
Not long ago you asked me what I thought about you when we first met
It was a question that made me think
I would say a word to describe my first impressions of you
First time I saw you I was stunned by your beauty
but I knew that it was something impossible to be
I denied what I thought and held it all back
The day I took you out for your first meal
A dinner of hot dogs at the chow hall, so unappealing
Neither of us said much of a word
I could tell you wanted to be anywhere else
you had another in your life
Me I was nothing to you
Working together is what we had to do
I knew that there wasn’t a chance
So I tried to ignore and deny even a glance
I could not get out of my head images of you
When you asked me to go on that fateful trip
Reluctant to go was my instinct
At a party where I knew not a soul
I acted myself and let go
You saw me finally in a different light
You asked our friend to ask if I thought you were alright
I must say I was stunned to hear that inquiry
Unprepared to answer with much more than yea she’s nice
The rest is history from that day forward
Twenty four years you have blessed my life
as my girlfriend, fiance and finally my wife
So my first impression of you was of a stunning beautiful girl
that i thought of was out of this world.
Anticipation
Being apart has been difficult from the start
This time was only for a brief moment
Though the minutes seemed like hours
The hours seemed like days
The days were a lifetime of missing you
Talking on the phone
Chatting on-line
A good salve to ease the time apart
My anticipation for your return
has grown deep inside my heart
To hold you once again
To see you in the flesh
To taste your lips that electrify me
I long for your return
Into my arms intertwined in your presence is what I yearn
For my wife who is gone for a short time, I wait for your return, I miss you…
