If you can relate, youre very blessed indeed: Desperate for new ways to say the same words Fearful, as always, that though said, they aren’t heard; Laying awake, eyes open wide Looking for ways to swallow my pride... To say things that the world cannot accept things that, once said, I’ll never regret because though, to the world, our love is strange We wish only that the world could change That everyone within it could feel as I feel That each person be touched by a love as real; A love that consumes every part of your being A love that kills hatred and anger and greed Try as I might, the words won’t come But know that, though old, you make me feel young Though tired and grey, I feel alive So long as you are by my side So long as your eyes smile at me I’ll stay in this world, unable to leave Unable to move on and unable to die Your love is the thing that keeps me alive Unable to sleep – afraid to dream Though my eyes are open, that’s all I see In slumber there’s nothing that could make it better So I stay awake and alive while we’re together No one before us has felt as we do Which is why, regretfully, I say to you I can’t speak the words of how I feel But that doesn’t mean it isn’t real My only hope that you’ll understand Is that you feel the same when hand in hand That deep within my eyes you’ll see A reflection of fire that you’ve built inside me A fire that never dwindles or dies A fire that eternally burns inside And, as on the day in which we vowed I repeat the words even now That if God is merciful as they say Then there will never come a day When you leave my side, in this life or the next For eternity, wife, I thee have wed And even after, when time is gone My love for you will live ever on When naught is left but dust and air Still, amongst nothing, I’ll love you there And if the world is born again I’ll stand, in the dark...I’ll stand waiting Waiting alone in the black, for you, my light My peace, my strength, my darling wife Without you there can be no life; Without you there can be no freedom Without you there can be no sky; No faith, no logic, no feeling or reason No moon, no sun, no birds could fly; Eyes couldn’t twinkle or glow or cry Without you there can be no music; No dancing, no laughter, and nothing truthful Without you there can be no time, no autumn leaves, or summer wine Without you there is nothing at all - Nothing but quiet, an eternal fall I didn’t vow because I had a choice Til death do us part, rang my voice Not because it seemed the right thing to say But because if you take life itself away Then there’s nothing at all – not even pain There’s no wind in the night or springtime rain You, an angel, sent from the sky Brought everything with you, and until I die until I breath my final breath I promise to love you with all I am I promise to fight to make you smile And to stand by you all the while Through the days and nights and all the seasons Because in life, you’re the only reason My reason to live and my reason to write I can’t explain it – why even try? I hope this has at least been a healthy start Of explaining who, to me, you are A friend and partner, a star, a diamond The truth, dear wife, is that you define me You aren’t just half of who I am You’re all of it, and then some.
