If I

If I couldn't have you, there would be nothing to want
Nothing to aim for, no shining stars
If I couldn't have you, there would be no true love
No love to cherish, no love to want

If I didn't know you and I didn't know pain
I would not know anything worth living again
If I didn't know you and I didn't fight the fight
I would not know the difference between alright and right

If I hadn't met you, memorized your face, memorized your hands
What else could I strive for, life would be so bland
If I didn't know you then I wouldn't know the pain
Of missing you and waiting to see you again

But if I didn't know you then I wouldn't know the pain
That ends when I see your face again
Ends when your touch embraces me again
The pain that ends when you promise my heart is in good hands...

You And I

The pain of not having you by my side
Will slowly begin to reside...
As I know that time draws near
To the next time that you are here...
I miss you and I see your face
No matter where I look, in any place...
I cannot help it, I cannot fight
The feeling that no matter what- we are right...
And I cannot give in to doubt
I absolutely cannot go without...
The love you give, the love you bring
You've given me so much of everything...
And I am here and you know that
You don't have to worry, in no time flat...
I'd be at your side if ever you call
I'd give to you, I'd give my all...
So baby know this as you prepare
To sleep tonight, though I am not there...
That I have your heart highly protected
You have my word, my love is invested...
And you and I, we're meant to be
You and I, we're all I see...
You and I are the only thought I keep
As I prepare at night to dream in sleep...

Mad Love

My heart flat lines when you aren't here
In times like these I see it all clear
And though my heart does break a bit
I've got this mad love, I can handle it

Nothing says love like the look in your eyes
And when you smile, it's no surprise
That you have me taken, you have me hung
This great, mad love just keeps me sprung

I look at you and I'm full inside
Filled by feelings I can't really describe
Filled with grace and filled with pride
Filled with beautiful, mad love I cannot hide

You take me to places I have never seen
You bring me to levels higher than a dream
You've shown me things I could never see
You and your mad love have enveloped me

Here in this place, this way, this time
I am so grateful to call you mine
I hope you can see when you look into my eyes
You've got me wearing mad love that I can't disguise

Not A Single Thing

There is not a single thing that could keep me from you. This love is something I didn't feel coming, something that simply grew. And now that you are here and you are in my life this way, there is not a single thing that could keep me away.

There is not a single thing that I would not do for you. To see you smile, to see the light in those eyes, nothing I wouldn't do. This love we have, this incredible bond, you are all I could need and want, and this is something I could have never thought up, not in my wildest dreams.

There is nothing I truly believe more than that you were made for me...

Before I Sleep

My day, every day, begins with you
I wake up already thinking of you
I lay there a while and day dream of you
I get up, I eat, sleep, breathe the thought of you...

My day is spent wishing that you were there
Just to see you, I'd go anywhere
And being without you is so hard to bear
So I think about how amazing it will be the next time we share...

Before I sleep, I think of you
I lay in bed and I miss you
I wish your face was next to mine
So I could kiss you before sleep each night...
Before I sleep, I day dream of the ways
That I would be grateful to wake with you to days
When the sun shines and I open my eyes
And I look at you and I realize
That all I want and all I need
Is laying right there next to me...

This Much

If I never told you how far my love goes,
How bright it glows, how much it means...
If I never told you how far my arms could reach
Before their length could teach, before you could see...

I love you THIS MUCH, baby...
I love you like no one can see.
I love you THIS MUCH baby...
And I know that you are all I need.

If I never told you how much you bring to me,
How it feels to be, how it feels to love you...
If I never told you how high my mind goes,
Before it bows, beyond what you can see...

I love you THIS MUCH, baby...
I love you like no one can see.
I love you THIS MUCH baby...
And Lord knows, you are all I need.

So give me your love, baby.
Give me strength but bring me to my knees.
Just give me your energy, baby.
Give me all and more than I need-
You are all I see and breathe...

You Fill Me

You fill my heart with love and laughter
I see happily ever after
I see brighter, better days
I feel our love in so many ways.

You fill my life with joy and peace
You are all I have and need
You are all my heart can see
You opened me up so I could breathe.

And I will never forget the day
When I saw you and my mind gave way
To every bigger and better thing
Than my past had seen, that what I'd felt within...

You fill me up with what I need
To see myself and to be me
You fill my heart with a sense of ease
If only everything in life could be such a breeze...

You fill me up with all this hope
And I hold on.
You fill me.

Light Burn Through The Haze

I hope you know you are my muse
You heal every heartbreak and bruise
You give me reason to go on
You give me desire to write love songs...

And on my darkest days
I see a light burn through the haze
And I look harder, I see your face...
I see all I need and crave.

You have my heart, you know my soul
You've seen my best, seen me get cold
You have a way with me and you know
Everything about this girl there is to know...

And on my darkest days
I see a light burn through the haze
And I look into your eyes and see my place...
You are the only love that could fill this space.

It's Crazy

It's crazy how my love for you grows
Even in slight absence, I hope that it shows
Even when you're unavailable, God only knows
How this love in my heart steadily grows.

It's crazy how I miss your face
How I miss having you here in this place
Even when I know you are still close in heart
My love for you never falls apart.

It's crazy how my desire for you builds
In no way am I lost or looking to fill
This space that you have and this love in my heart
It just goes to show you had me right from the start.

It's crazy how my love for you grows
How my heart bleeds for you so much that it shows
It's crazy how I need you more everyday
And all I can do is just hope that you stay.

It's crazy how I am mad about you
How all that I want is to be with you
It's crazy that we found this special thing
It's amazing, and so are you and all the love that you bring...

Lifted

I don't know how you do it but I'm telling you- I'm lifted.
You have stolen parts of me I never knew existed.
You have become a part of me and there's no going back.
I need to have you in my everyday just to keep my brain on track.

I'm not sure just what you did and I cannot explain but I'm lifted.
Just having you so deep in my life, my whole outlook has shifted.
There are things I want and things I never knew that I could have.
You have given me many things I did not know I never had.

I don't know how I missed but I found it in you and I'm lifted.
You have given life to me, in so many ways you are gifted.
Just a smile, just a wink, it's all I need and I am done.
No doubt in my mind that you just have to be the one.

I Wish

I wish that I could see you, see the smile on your face.
I wish I could be with you, missing you makes for longer days.
I wish that I could smile at you, let you see my love.
But I know that you feel it too, our love always rises above...

The days without you they are darker, cannot seem to shake the rain.
I wish I could be beside you, your warmth eases all of my pain.
I wish that I could see your smile, see your eyes light up.
But I know that soon I will and that'll have to be enough...

I never imagined it would come to this, that missing you would feel so bad.
I wish you knew how much you mean to me, you are the best I've ever had.
I wish that I could show you my heart, so you could truly see how you make it whole.
But I know that you have a good idea, and I hope that you will always know...

You are all I want and need and you mean the entire world to me.
You are all I could wish for and dream and everything real love could be.

How Do You Do It?

You know those days that just don't go right, the ones that drag you down,
The ones that make it impossible to pick yourself up off the ground?
I have had some days like this and life just seems so trying,
But you have this powerful energy that slows down all my crying...

You make me laugh on days like these, how do you do it?
You make my heart feel lighter, somehow you make a smile fit...

You know those days that break you down, the ones that break your heart,
The ones that you feel will never end, and you wish they never had to start?
I have had some days like this and then you pull me together like a puzzle,
You make my heart beat better, you take the pain out of the struggle.

You make me happy on days like these, still I wonder how?
You make my life feel good again when it's been turned upside down...

I don't know how you do it and I don't know why you stick around,
But there's no one I'd rather run through it all with when my feet hit the ground...

Everything And More

You are the shine to my stars,
To my Venus you are Mars,
You are everything and more
Than you could ever know.

You are the beat in my heart
The Picasso to my art
You are everything and more
Than you could ever know.

You are the smile that causes mine
The hook and sinker to my line
You are everything and more
Than you could ever know.

You are what makes me breathe deep
You are all I long to keep
You are everything and more
Than you could ever know.

You are what slows the whole world down
And what makes my own world go 'round
You are everything and more
Than you could ever know.

The Smallest Things

A walk in the park
A chill in the wind
Everything's as easy as this...
A spark to inferno
A drop to an ocean
The smallest things become so big...

A portrait of love
A writing of faith
Everything has its special place...
The sad in goodbye
The happy in hello
I feel it all as you come and go...

A sip from a fountain
A pebble from a beach
The smallest things are the first to teach...
A grateful heart
A thankful mind
Before you I walked along so blind...

The smallest things are everything to me when they are pieces of you.

A Year Of These Days

I could spend a year with you and days like this would be every one
Living like I'm full and rich, on laughs and life and love...
Every time I see your smile I cannot help but do the same
Nothing else could make me so happy, you're the one to blame...

And love, it never seemed so rich until you stole my heart
Nothing has ever been as thick as this, the needle jumped right off the chart...
And no I could never reach these heights without the touch of you
I never want this love to end, it's the only one I've ever known so true...

So smile baby, you have made a miracle of my life
And always know you are the man who is worth my fight...
Anything and everything that I could do is what I'd do for you
Nothing would ever be the same, no one could do what you do...

I Knew

I knew it when you held my hand
And I never could bear it when you let go.
I knew it when you became the man
Who never had to worry about hearing 'no.'
I knew it when my time with you
Could never be quite enough.
I knew it when there was nothing I could do
Trying to fight it was impossibly tough.

I knew it when I just gave in
When I let the love I felt consume me.
I knew it when I couldn't stand
To have you anywhere but next to me.
I knew it when a smile was easy
And my heart lit up just as big.
I knew it when complications became breezy
And I wanted you to take all I had to give.

I knew it when I looked into your eyes
And everything in the world felt alright.
I knew it when you lit up my skies
Even in the darkest part of night.
I knew it when my heart only reacted
To the sound of your voice, to the sight of you.
I knew it when the only thing subtracted
From my life that would hurt me became YOU.

Hearts Unite

I feel the spark
Your heart ignites
The darkness fades
Welcome the light
And here is love
The best of life
The biggest smile
Two hearts unite

I feel the spark
My heart jumps high
The day is new
Goodbye to night
And here is life
Ready to be lived
Ready to be loved
And the floor gives

Falling through
It feels just fine
Because you are here
Two hearts unite
And here is love
And here is light
And I can breathe
And we'll sleep tight

Two hearts unite
And love is new
And it may grow old
But will renew
In every kiss
In every time
When smiles meet
And two hearts unite

Then You Came Along

I spent a lot of time
Running down clouds
Pursuing happiness
Chasing it down
Then you came along
And nothing could be gray
Nothing could stop me
You're the sun in my day

I spent a lot of time
Licking old wounds
Wringing my hands
Singing the blues
Then you came along
And I seemed to heal
Just like a miracle
But you're so very real

I spent a lot of time
Missing the mark
Walking head down
Dwelling in the dark
Then you came along
And that target was yours
No more misplaced dreams
Now my imagination soars

I spent a lot of time
Fighting to write
Fighting the block
Lonely at night
Then you came along
And the pen hit the paper
And I never stopped
My words never felt safer

I spent a lot of time
Wishing I had a love
Feeling bad for myself
Push came to shove
Then you came along
And love came too
All is right in the world
Because of you

I spent a lot of time
Wishing on stars
Grabbing lucky pennies
Counting blue cars
Then you came along
You gave me new life
Breathed into me
Made everything right

I spent a lot of time
Running down clouds
Pursuing happiness
Chasing it down
Then you came along
And you are the one
The one that saved me
The one that I love...

If Only I Could

If I could be anywhere, anywhere in the world
I'd be with you, I'd love to be your girl
If I could do anything at all
I'd go with you, never avoid the fall...
My mouth it craves your warm, soft skin
My heart cries out from within
If I could have just one thing in life
It would be you, the only thing that's right...
And love, it never felt so divine
If I could go back, I'd make you mine
My fingertips, they love to touch
All over you, they love you so much...
And laying there in a daze with you
That is all I desire to do
Nowhere else feels so inspired
No one else could take me higher...

I would give my all to you, if only I could...
I would give my heart and always be true
I think you know I would...
I would spend my life with you, if only I could...
I would spend my life making a happier you
And I think that I could...
If only I could...

Untitled II

The man I love, he's got these eyes- I swear they see my soul. And I love that, I love the fact no one sees me like he does.

The man I love, his smile could crush me and everything about him makes my heart go crazy. And I love that, I love the fact that he gets to me like no one can...

The man I love, he's got a way of making me smile on the saddest of days, he knows how to reach my heart and head... And I love that, I love the fact that he knows me better than anyone...

The man I love, he stole my heart, without a warning right from the start and I love that, I love the fact that his heart has a special place for me... No one could make me happier than him and no world is a better place for me than the one we create when we have the space to be free... Everything to each other, he's everything to me. And i'm happy with that, I love the fact I'm happier than I ever thought I'd be...

I Smile

I smile because words could not describe just what I feel
I smile because I know that the love you feel for me is real...
I smile because you give me everything a girl could need
I smile because these words are something I know you will read...

Baby, you just get me, you really know me and I love that.
I know you're thinking of me and I can sleep tight with that fact.
No one else truly understands just what this girl's about
But you, you're unlike anyone else, and I know there is no doubt.

You and I are something that I never thought I'd find.
And somehow you came along when I tried hard to make my heart blind.
I didn't want to see what was out there in that world...
But you changed my mind, you are the one who awakened this girl...

I smile because you are the love I dream of every night.
And in the day, your love's insane, baby it just feels so right!
I smile because you are the one that I always hope will be,
Right by my side, always on my mind and in my heart- just you and me...

I smile because I know that no matter what life may bring
You are the one, the only one, who made this silent heart sing...

Took Me By Surprise

You made me whole, took me by surprise.
I felt it as soon as I saw those bright eyes.
And it didn't take long to wish you were mine.
You caught me by surprise making me feel so fine.

Do you remember when I saw you, you saw me and we smiled?
I don't know if it was a memory or more like a past life.
Do you remember how it felt the first time you knew it was real?
Because I remember it vividly and how exactly you made me feel.

You made me a woman, took me by surprise.
Your touch was so soft but so strong by disguise.
And it didn't take long for me to see you in the light.
You caught me by surprise telling me it was alright.

Do you remember how I trembled and how nervous I was?
I immediately felt a completely natural buzz.
The rush of your skin and your smiling eyes.
I remember each and every time you took me by surprise.

You made my heart swell, took me by surprise.
And everything, yes everything felt like a warm sunrise.
And I still feel that every time, it always feels so brand new.
Ever after I've been in those arms and my heart went out to you.

You took me by surprise but I never stopped to wonder.
I'd never question your way with my heart or the spell I'm under.
You took me by surprise and you still do it everyday.
And I'll never find the perfect words but I'll never stop trying to say,
How you mean the world to me, how you swept me away.
How a love like this could grow so fast and grow more everyday...

Truth Is

Truth is...
You never leave my mind
Out of 24 hours you are on it 25.
Truth is...
I dream of giving my all to you
And I love that dream, even if it never comes true.
Truth is...
You had my heart right away
I struggled not to tell you every single day.
Truth is...
You have no idea how amazing you are
And I'd pick you if I had a choice between the moon and stars.
Truth is...
There is not a single thing I would not do for you
And given the chance I'd take it and run, whatever I could do.
Truth is...
All you have to do is tell me when and where
And I hope there's not a doubt in your mind that you would find me there.

Standing With Your Smile

So there you are, standing with your smile
Your easy way, your effortless style
And here I am, in awe of you
The way you have, your soul shining through
There is nothing for me to run from
When I am lost in your stare
There is nothing better than the freedom
Of you being the comfort for my soul to run bare
So there you are, your laugh so loud
You're the only one who stands out in the crowd
And no one else exists when I see your face
I could watch you forever, you're the light in this place
So there you are, standing with your smile
You look at me and my mind runs wild
The way you have, your soul shining through
And I'm the lucky girl who gets the biggest smile from you...

Kissing You

Do you know what crosses my mind when I am kissing you?
Only the best of things, all of them involving just us two...

What crosses my mind when I'm kissing you
Is all of the amazing things you do
All of the love and light you bring to my life
All of the pain I had that vanished over night...

What crosses my mind when I'm kissing you
Is how much I can feel your love coming through
How easy it is for me to feel comfortable being me
How sweet your lips feel and how close we've come to be

What crosses my mind when I'm kissing you
Is everything you've given me as dreams to pursue
How grateful I am to have you as my man
How perfect your my hand feels inside your hand

Nothing can touch the moments that I spend kissing you
Nothing else in the world exists when I'm kissing you
No one in the world could ever compare
No one else exists in my mind when you are there...

I Can't

Baby I can't look into your eyes
Without feeling this warmth
Without feeling this love
I could have waited centuries for...

Baby I can't touch your skin
Without feeling your heart
Without feeling so greedy
I would take all of you if I could...

Baby I can't hear your voice
Without feeling goosebumps all over
Without feeling so suddenly focused
That I cannot hear another sound...

Baby I can't sleep at night
Without feeling like you should be there
Without feeling like I have to force it
Just in case you are in my dreams...

Baby I can't see my life
Without you as the biggest part
Without you looking after my heart
Without that smile, those eyes, that love...

Who Knew

Who knew
That all I've written
All I've spoken
All I've lived
Comes down to this...
I've looked for you
My whole life through
And nothing, no one
Is better than this...
Who knew
That all I've seen
All I've done
Cannot beat one...
One man, one heart
One breathtaking love
I've looked for you
And here you are...
Who knew
That all I'd need
All I would see
Was all in you...
I've looked for you
And now I'm through
I look no more
You have my heart...

Wish We Could Be

I wish we could be anywhere but here,
In these places, with these people, onlooking eyes and I realize...
Even if we could tell them how we know to describe what we feel,
None of them would get it, they have nothing to compare, nothing this real.

I wish we could be anywhere else right now,
I'm often dreaming of the places, just our two faces and our two hearts,
I believe they could beat as one, they could touch and we're on,
Nothing compares to what we have here... But I want to take you somewhere...

I wish we could be anywhere but here,
I know there's no way to disguise completely what we feel inside,
I know my heart radiates towards you, and likely I believe that yours does too...
I know they can see it but they don't know the depth, when all else is gone and you are all that is left...
I know my heart and soul would be content, for you are all I want and need, I know you're Heaven sent...

I wish we could be far away from here,
I wish that we could take off and disappear,
Just you and I and only we'd know why...
You are all that this heart needs to survive...

How Much You Mean To Me

I hope you know how much you mean to me
You have changed my life completely
You are more than just my love
You are my very best friend
Words can't descriibe how much you mean to me
I'd cross the world just so that we could be
You are more than just my love
You are my sun and my stars
I need you to know how much you mean to me
You have opened my eyes so that I could see
You are more than just my love
You are the beat inside my heart
I cannot explain how much you mean to me
We are connected like I never thought two could be
You are more than just my love
You are the man of my dreams...

Never Want To Part

I could be anywhere with you
And this smile would never fade
There is nothing I wouldn't do
To be with you everyday

I could go anywhere to see you
No place is too near or too far
And I have a feeling you would too
In a sky full of dull you're my shining star

You have made my soul come back
From lost wherever it may have been
There is nothing at all that I lack
When I'm with you, I'm whole again

I can look into your eyes
And see a reflection of my heart
It didn't take much to realize
Once I found you I'd never want to part

My days are too long when I don't see you
And too short on the days when I do
No matter what it takes to make it work
I'm going to find it and follow through

I'd never betray your trust or your heart
And I have faith in you looking after me
With you I feel safe and I never want to part
You are everything that a man should be

I could be anywhere with you
And just be content with the love in my heart
I can't even begin to explain what you do
But whatever it is, I never want to part

You set my soul in motion and you have ahold of my heart
You bring the sun into my days and I never want to part

Words

These words come through me in beats and pulse...
You are the man I want to meet when I go home
And nothing- no one- could ever replace
The feeling I get when I see your face

My words come from my heart and soul...
Through my fingers and on paper to you
You have my heart, you have my mind
And I would meet you here time after time...

These words they never came to me
Until you came to me to be
The man who took my heart and stayed
You did not run, you still remain...

And words, they mean so much to me
To many people they might not be...
But to me, your word is bond
And baby, you save me, with you I've won...

Your words, you say, they touch my heart
And nothing else can even start
To reach me just the way you have,
You are my man, no one could ever take that...

I Wonder

I wonder what it would feel like to fall asleep on you...
I can imagine the sweet dreams I'd have to always hold onto...
I can feel my head on your shoulder and your arm around my waist...
And waking up with arms and legs and hearts so interlaced...

I wonder what it would feel like to fall asleep inside your arms...
I can only imagine it would be as simple as falling for your charm...
I can feel your heart beat as I curl up to your chest...
And waking up and realizing what I have is the best...

I wonder what it would feel like to wake up next to you...
To spend the day letting the world slip away, that is what we'd do...
I can feel my heart pound at just the simple thought of this...
And waking up with you and feeling what the world is like in bliss...

I wonder what it would feel like to kiss you until I fall asleep...
And let my heart fall deeper, as if this could get any more deep...
I can feel my hand tremble as it is running through your hair...
And feel as close to perfect as possible while getting lost in your stare...

If ever the time comes when I am lucky enough, I can't wait to meet you there...

Courage To Tell

So fighting to stay awake turned into a pretty sleepless night...
And I wish you were here, wish I could wrap around you tight...
But I try to feel good just knowing everything's alright...
And I know it is because you're still in my heart and in my life...

I can finally say all there is to say,
I've given my all just to be able to display
Through my actions and my words,
But fighting the ones I want to say most...

Loving you came easily
Faster than it ever came to me
And you are more than I could imagine you'd be
You mean everything to me...

To hear you say the words I feel
To know that what I believed was real
To feel without a single doubt
I'm not the only one who had to let it out...

And I could read those words over and over again
I could feel my heart swell when I saw them
And maybe in person would have been ideal
But sometimes it's just best to finally say what you feel...

So the next time you are here with me
And looking at me lovingly
I'll be able to tell you how I felt it was impossible
For things to be better than they already were...

But I should have known things only get better with you
Every look you give me, everything you do
I always smile from the inside and out
And I feel it now without a doubt...

You had my heart and you still do
Maybe it's cliche but I always knew
That if I ever had the courage to tell you,
Your response would be that you loved me too...

You are and always will be everything I wish I had...

Chemistry

I don't know what you do to me but baby, we've got chemistry... The kind you read about in books, the kind that brings on many looks. And who knows what we feel inside, they can only guess but I can hardly hide... You do something to me that feels brand new, this chemistry between me and you...

I don't know what you do to me but baby, we've got chemistry... The kind that people wish they had, the kind that's as damn good as it is bad. And nothing, no one can slow this down, I feel it falling all around... It's everywhere, all over me and baby that is chemistry...

I don't know what you do to me but baby, we've got chemistry... The kind that makes the stars stand still, right before they go shooting, I know they will... I see it when I look at you, it's a part of everything you do and when you smile, when your smile kisses mine, this chemistry is something that I know I've waited my life to find...

I don't know what you do to me but baby, we've got chemistry... And I'd give anything, all the money, all the world, to keep this feeling, to be your girl...

Made My Day

Telling you that you made my day is so easy for me to say
The other things I have in mind, they're easy too if I knew the words to find...
The simple things you do for me, like make me smile constantly
They may seem so small to you but I love everything you do...
Your laugh just fills my heart with joy, and everything else fills it that much more
Your heart, I know it's in the right place, with or without words I see it on your face...
If I could tell you everything you made me feel inside, I'd be better than a dictionary because those words are so hard to find...
If telling you that you made my day was all that I was able to say
I hope you can feel and I hope you know, that everything else is just easier to show...

The Key

Any moment I have to give my heart, I do desire to give my all
But nothing has ever brought me to life like the time when you made me fall...
I fell for you and nothing more, you alone are all I need
And it means enough to me to know that you come here to read...

My life is made up of many things, many blessings and many fights
And I would never live the way I do if I didn't win my rights...
But the best of lives are hardly lived if lived alone at all
Until you came and gave me life I felt every bit of small...

These feelings and these smiles, they are nothing I simply found
I had to look deep into myself, and you are the one who turned me around...
Here I think I found myself looking for something I've never known
Something I never even knew was real until you fed it and it's grown...

You hold the key because you are the key...

Nothing To Hide

If I had to go to sleep at night before you were ready for bed
I'd have to have you next to me just so I could lay down my head
If I had to leave in the morning before you were to wake
I'd have to stir you for a kiss just for making-it-through-the-days sake

If there were somewhere I had to go and you couldn't tag along
I'd send you a picture every chance I got so you wouldn't forget while I was gone
If I had to leave the country again and I would be gone for a year
I promise you not a day would go by that I didn't shed a tear

What I feel for you is no secret, not to you and not to me
But you have no idea how much this feeling has grown, no idea the intensity
And God forbid my life would end before you knew the truth
You are the dream I've been living for since my earliest day of youth

And life, it's not all it should be, not without you to share it by my side
But that is no reason to hold it in, no reason to treat love like something to hide
It's not something that I could even say here before I say it to your face
But I think you have a slight idea, that you are the one thing my mind can't erase...

If You Ever Wonder

If you ever wonder if I'm thinking about you
No matter where I am and no matter what I do
You are the single thing that never leaves my mind
It seems that thoughts of you are all I cannot leave behind...

I keep that smile you give me burned right inside my head
I can't imagine life without you, I know that's a lot to be said
But baby I still dream that I could have met you long ago
Still I feel lucky that you are here now, I hope you know...

My days are filled with smiles and laughs and I have you to thank
I see you and I feel a fire inside and sometimes my mind goes blank
Because my heart is filled with something I never thought I'd find
And it's all you, a dream come true, I hope that you don't mind...

So if you ever wonder if I'm thinking of you I just want you to know
You are in my heart and mind no matter what I do, no matter where I go
You are the one and only person my heart swells and burns up for
And baby if this is all I ever have, I couldn't even want for more...

So Many Things

So many things that you bring to my life
A smile that finally feels so right
A warm heart that says more that words
I want to give you what you so deserve

And every time I think of you
I'm feeling good and so brand new
The magic you have given my heart
Everything I want and I never want to part

So many things I have to say to you
But I can't explain just how these feelings grew
And I never want you far from me
So many things I know we could be...

So many things I want for you and I
But most of all I want to see you smile...

Miss You

So I've decided to start writing anything here... Whether it's 1 sentence or one hundred... There's always SOMETHING on my mind... And right now, while I'm at work.... Missing you.... You are what is on my mind...

I miss you...
All I do is think about you and the way you make me feel... When did life become surreal? You are the reason my heart has blossomed into this big flower I find so unique... You are exactly what this girl needed...

So here I am thinking of you and I hope that you feel the way I do... I miss you.

You Have A Way With Me

I still smell you all over, I can almost feel you close to me
I'm just dreaming you're still here, I wish that you could be...
Nothing says incredible like an entire day with you
Nothing makes my heart pump so extreme the way you do...
Laying here alone now, this couch is not the same
Everywhere I look I see you and I remember saying your name...
I knew I shouldn't say what we both knew was coming next
So you stopped me from letting it slip, maybe you know best...
But I cannot describe in a poem or even in a book
The special way you have with me, I'm still completely shook...
My hands still shake, my eyes can't leave you and I can't breathe
Nothing says phenomenal like the way you have with me...

I'm here inside this place in me I did not know existed
And if it weren't for you in my life I know I would have missed it...
Every morning I wake with a smile knowing you are in my world
Every night I lay my head to sleep in peace knowing I'm your girl...

I know anything and everything are not easily achieved
But I believe I have it all when you are here with me...

When I Look Into My Heart

Your touch is burned into my memory, I feel it all over my skin
Somehow your voice- it carries to me, and I'm at peace within
I don't have to remind myself what it feels like to be with you
Because forever I will feel your touch and every good you do

Your smell, it stays all over me and I can get through the day
Just knowing that you've been a part of it in every single way
I don't have to wonder what the best feelings in life are
Because I have found them all in you, you have raised the bar

Your smile spreads warmth over me like the hottest Summer sun
And your eyes- they have the same effect, somehow I feel I've won
I don't have to worry what it is like to be all alone
Because I know that if I'm lost I'll just pick up the phone

Your presence, whether near or far, it makes my life complete
And no matter where life takes you or me, no one could compete
I don't have to cry the tears that I often seem to do
Because I know my best interests are looked after by you

I don't have to fear any pain because even after we part
This will always be where I am when I look into my heart

Doors

I want you to read
What's in my eyes
Feel my heart
Realize...
That there is more
There's so much more
And I don't mean
To open doors
But here they are
And here I am...

I want you to know
What's on my mind
What it feels like
To be inside...
To feel the strength
Feel the honesty
And realize
That you mean
More to me...

So this is it
This is how it feels
Yes I know now
What I've wanted
All these years...
Some doors have gone
Been left to close
Some more to open
Now that I'm home...
I want you to know
What you do to me
How you have
Become my santuary...

This door is always open...

Temple

There's nothing close to better than you as a part of my day
Your body is a temple and it makes me want to pray...
Nothing is so sacred as this that we share
Everything that's passionate, I want to take you there...

The days just would not be the same without you
You're the first thing I think of when I wake up, it's true...
Your body is a temple and I want to give my all
Tell me your wish and I'll make it true, whether big or small...

There's nothing close to better than you as a part of my life
Your body is a temple I don't have the strength to fight...
I'd give anything and everything to share in that paradise
Because if there is any way to describe this at all, it is so right...

Hands Tied

So many things I long to say
Although you may already know
So many times throughout the day
The words to describe what I feel grow

And still I cannot say the things
I long to say to you so much
But I can tell you a million bells inside ring
Anytime I feel your touch

To hear your voice, to look into your eyes
Imagine my shock and my surprise
When you became more than I bargained for
More than anything I've ever had before...

My heart pounds at simply the thought of you
And I've got hands tied, there's nothing I can do...

Simple Way

I'm trying to find the most simple way
To tell you what you do to me everyday
I've never felt a kiss that shook me to the core
Every time I leave I want to run right back for more...

Something about you, it makes me high
I do not need anything but to look into your eyes
When you kiss me and I feel this way
I wish I had the perfect way to say...

That you are better than anything in my dreams...
That when I'm in your arms, my heart- it gleams...
That never have I ever felt anything more real...
That I would die happy if this were the last thing I could feel...

I Cannot Describe

Visions of you are all that I see
Everything about you captivates me
And I cannot describe the feelings I get
But I know these are things I haven't felt yet.

Something about you it twists in my mind
Every sense that I have is searching to find
Exactly what this is that I feel, that you bring
And something tells me this is truly EVERYTHING...

I cannot describe how my body goes weak
How my heart pounds fast and I cannot speak
I cannot describe the rush running through me
Everytime that ONE is what you and I come to be.

Never have I felt anything so strong and so whole
You make me feel something beyond incredible
And nothing and no one could ever replace
The feeling I get just seeing your face...

This is the best feeling that I've ever known
I cannot believe how these feelings have grown
And you are truly more than actions and words
Even just trying to describe you would be absurd...

I cannot describe what you have brought to my world
But this is everything and more than I could ask for...

No Matter What

Of all the things I do these days the best thing of them all
Is spending time just knowing you, learning the big things and even the small
There's so many things I want to do and each and every day
The one person I could see doing them with is you, it's the only way...

No matter what is on my mind you make it all go away
All you do is look at me and I have no idea what to say
That feeling is so indescribable, it's priceless in the least
No matter what you do to me, it's an unknown feeling I'll gladly keep...

You make me feel things I cannot describe
I could get lost just looking into your eyes
Of all these that things I want to do
On top of my list is anything with you...

Even on my cloudy days I see the light with you
Even if I thought I could not smile, it's all I can do with you
Something about you just makes me feel better, just hearing you say my name
Something about you makes my heart melt and my senses go insane...

No matter what the outcome is I know this is worth the time
Because of everything you are to me, I'll always wish you were mine
And something tells me that feeling will stick, because it is so real
But no matter what the outcome is, you taught me how to heal...

Heard It All Before

I'm sure you've heard it all before
I'm not the first girl knocking down your door
But I swear I have something to offer, something more
And I wish that we could be free to explore...

I'm sure you've heard it all before
But I can guarantee I feel it more
I promise you there's more in store
Than any girl that came before...

I'm sure this is nothing new to you
To be the only one that would do

To be the only one to whom a girl would give her all

Just to make sure she's not alone when she hits the fall...

I feel like we have something more
I'm sure you've heard this all before
But do you know there's nothing at all I wouldn't give?
Just to have you by my side would be to live...

I want you to know so many things

I want you to feel all the you bring

What you give to me is more than you could know
And baby this fall has been anything but slow...

You may have heard this all before

But you have reached for an open door

And never have I been so willing to give

Everything to another in order to let love live...

This is the first time

This may be the last time

I ever feel this way

I just wish you could stay...

You Make Me Feel Alive

If you feel any of what I feel
If you knew how this was so real
If you could see my heart inside
You'd know you make me feel alive...

If you could be me there today
With your lips stopping anything I'd say
If you could feel just what I felt
You'd know that you make my heart melt...

If you could be me for a day
On this side of what it is we share
If you could see how bright you shine
You'd know you make me feel alive...

If you could feel the strength in your kiss
If you could know how you bring me bliss
If you could feel my heart beat and strive
Well then you'd know you make me feel alive...

If I could kiss you the way you kiss me
Well you'd know what it's like to be
This little girl you bring out inside
And baby you'd know you make me feel alive...

Take My Time

I want to sit with you for just a moment,

Look into your eyes, take the feeling and own it,

I want to know everything there is to know,

I want to read the story those eyes hold.

I want to hold your hand just for a while,

And feel your warmth and watch you smile,

I want to lay my head on your chest,

I want to start out there, we'll figure out the rest...

Say these things were possible,

With freedom to feel, no obstacles...

Then this is what I would want to do,

Just take my time and really know you...

Happy To Feel

I don't want to cross the line
And crash this party with feelings of mine
And bring out the things I hold inside

But how else do I continue to write these lines...

How many times can I tell you you're beautiful?
That your eyes pierce mine and see my soul?

That when you walk away I feel an empty hole?

That when you smile at me I'd done; I'm sold?

I don't want to complicate things

With wanting to be every song you sing

With wanting to show you what I think of you

I don't want to give away what I'd love to do...

How do I write poetry without using the heart in me?

How do I stifle this brewing potion?

To give up on the impossible notion,

It makes me feel like it's worth it all,

I'd rather say it out loud, nothing stops the fall...

Because I know this won't be what I can see

But that doesn't mean a girl can't dream

That doesn't mean I can't imagine it all

Why not let it out, it's nothing major but it's nothing small...

I know that I won't lose you just because I feel

I'm human, I am sensitive, and I say what's real

So know that all the stars in the skies

Could not compare to the light in your eyes

Know that all the love in the world,

All that could be between a boy and a girl

Is what I want you and I to have

But know that I don't dwell, I don't feel sad...

Because when I see that smile I melt,

Inside my heart, I hold what's felt

Somehow I never completely knew what you meant to me,

Somehow I kept it down until recently

And now that I acknowledge these feelings I'm free

So know that you make me nothing short of happy.

No Other Man

No other man could keep me up all night

Just high on the hope that we just might

Have a chance to see and touch

I want you, oh I do, so much...

No other man could keep me laying awake

Wishing for the man whose presence makes me shake

Who makes me feel so alive, and so free

I want you to continue to do what you do to me...

No other man could stop me in my tracks

Could keep me wanting to hope for more than that

More than that which we already are

You are the sun and the moon to my stars...

No other man can make my heart stop

Or make my heart beat like it's ready to pop

This feeling, oh this feeling, you give me these chills

You give me so much, not knowing the space it fills...

No other man can get me like this...

No other man can bring me THIS happiness...

No other man can bring out this smile...

And my heart, no other man is worth it's while...

My Morning

Last night I was way too tired to write anything good
So I figured I'd get up early today just so I could...
But the dog needed walking, that was the first order of business,
Until I came upstairs and walked right into Malcolm's mess...
The cat knocked over a big, potted plant
All over the carpet the dirt and leaves went...
So I walked Sunny and fed her and Malcolm too,
Then I stepped in a pile of what must have been Malcolm's puke...
So I hope this makes you smile because it's all I could really do
Just laugh about my morning but let you know i'm thinking of you...
;)

Realize

You caught me by surprise

There's some things I realize

Just never felt so good

Well now I know they should

You caught me so off guard

Somehow captured my heart

I could get lost in those eyes

And not even realize

I'm falling slowly, falling faster

It's normal to run when from potential disaster

But that's not what you are to me

I realize all that we are to be

I never knew such strong desire

I take a look into those eyes and I get higher

It took you to make me realize

There's nothing wrong with a good surprise

You took me back to being a girl

A girl who wants everything from the world

But more than anything she wants that boy

That makes her feel like she owns the world...

It took you to make me realize

That life is better looking into anothers eyes...

Words

'Ravishing' is an exquisite word for an exceptional man like you.

'Heavenly' is another word that comes to mind; it's true...

You are something more than good,

You make me feel on top of the world,

You are something better than the best,

There is no one, there is no contest...

'Tranquil' is a great word for what I could call the place you take me to.

'Empyrean' is exactly what my heart feels when I look at you...

You are the best kind of destiny,

Doesn't matter that we weren't meant to be,

But finding myself thinking of you,

Somedays it's all I want to do...

You And I

Do you think

That you and I

Were meant to walk

Into one anothers lives...

Do you think

That you and I

Had reason to meet

And reason to collide...

I like to think

That you and I

We are something

Worth giving a try...

So here we are

Yes, you and I

And I'm so glad

You're in my life...

I Don't Know

I don't know when I'll see you again but I look forward to it everyday. Can't wait to see that smile and those bright eyes, there are so many things I long to say. I don't know when I'll feel those lips pressed hard against my own, but when I see you it's what I have to do, the days without it are far too long. I don't know when I'll hold you again but everytime I do it's so hard to let go. Can't wait to feel your warmth on my skin, to know that you are more than a dream, while holding onto feelings I cannot let grow.

I don't know how this all began, but it's a part of me and I could not stand... To have to let it go, to try to go back to slow... I don't know how this all will end but I know that it will always make me smile... When I think of you and the things that we'd do, just to feel like a child, you do it to me everytime... Leave butterflies inside, I could not give that up if I tried...

I don't know if I'm wrong for feeling everything I feel. But the most important of all these things is that happiness is now very real. And I cherish you for giving me that. Somehow you brought me back, and I want to feel that again... Over and over again... I don't know where this began, but I'll go back to that place a million times, just to look right into those eyes and dare you bring these feelings to life... You have no idea how amazing it is, being on the recieving end of your light...

The days could fade into months and years, and somehow I'll always wish that you were here. I know by then you'll be a memory, but you'll always be so special to me... And I don't know how you got to me, the way you did, but you truly did and I do not have a single regret... You are an experience I never thought I'd get... It's as if the thought of it didn't even exist- until there was you.

The Man In My Dreams

I woke up this morning knowing I had dreamt of you
I knew it because I had a feeling that was new
Every morning I wake up thinking of you

But this was different,

As if I was surprised to find myself in my bed with you in it...

I woke up this morning knowing you were the man in my dreams

It felt as if you were right there next to me

And when I woke and I felt a bit cold

I wished that you were there to hold

But even still, it felt so good

It felt relieving knowing you could

Still be the man that I find in my dreams

You don't know what you mean to me...

I woke up this morning knowing I had dreamt of you

I felt a million little tingles and a bit shaken up too

It was as if you had just left my bed

Or as if next to yours I had just laid down my head

And I hope tomorrow morning feels just the same...

When You Look At Me

I feel so warm when you look at me

The way only you can look at me

I get the feeling you can see through me

And I'm not bothered by that, I welcome it in fact...

I feel so beautiful when you look at me

The way only you can look at me

I get the feeling you see all the good in me

And I'm open to that, I am happy with that...

I feel so womanly when you look at me

I feel passionate and I feel free

I feel this fire that burns, fueled by your eyes

The more and more you look at me

I start to realize...

That I feel my very best when you look at me

The way only you can look at me

I feel on top of the world, I feel at peace

And that's more than I could ask to feel,

Nothing has ever felt so real...

You Could

You could tear my heart apart with just one pull

You could change me forever, I know that you will...
You could give me a feeling that no one else could even try

You could change me and leave me healing for the rest of my life...

I don't know if you know what it is that you've done
I'm sure you did it without knowing, but you are the one...
The one who has made me fall from any stand I had
To hold me up against the world with the upper hand...

I don't want to call you "baby" it just feels so overused
I don't want to tell you "maybe", there is no saying no to you...
I don't want this to feel cheapened by anything outside
You are the best, my favorite place where I love to run and hide...

You could change me,

You could chain me by my heart,

You have done that from the start...

You could change me,

And I will be what we have to be,

With a guy like you could you blame me...? 

Reach Into Me

I wake in the morning and you are on my mind
Every night I lay down to sleep and feel fine
Just knowing the next day that you'll be there
With a feeling like this, I'm not going anywhere...

It's like something I can count on
Without counting my own life out
And you give me something to grow from
With you there is no question, no doubt...

Reach into me, like only you can
You make me feel like a kid again
Reach into me, like you know my life
Everything about you somehow feels right...

I feel free when I am with you and these moments are our own
I feel good when I think about you, I get into the zone
You have something that just lingers, on my hands, in my heart
Something I have never known and that is just the start...

The words to describe a man like you
Are words I do not know
And if I could show you what you've shown me
I'd pay you back tenfold...

Reach into me and pull out life and light like you have done
To know a man as special as you feels like I may have won...
And whether or not I deserve this all, I gladly do accept
Because these feelings you've given me are ones that will be kept...

Close Your Eyes

Want to make you close your eyes, just close your eyes,

So you can see me now... As the queen I may seem

The everything I want to be, before I fall right down...

I'm losing sight of why I returned, why I am here

Why I came back to be everything to everyone

But clearly there is nothing here for me...

Want to make you close your eyes, but still see the sun,

So you can see me as being the only one,

So you can see me one last time as better than all,

So you can see me rise and shine right before I fall...

I'm ready to move, I'm ready to run,

Aside from you it's everyone

That makes me want to run and hide away

That makes me want to wake up in a different place...

If it weren't for you, I'd be long gone.

I wish they knew, wish they could hear this song,

Long before it ever even existed to be sung,

Want to run wild with you before my time is done...

So moving on, I want the world,

I want to be better than the average girl...

Want to be the love and air you breathe,

But I don't think anyone sees that in me...

Want to make you close your eyes and feel,

Do not open them, what you FEEL is real...

Want to make you close your eyes,

Nothing is better than feeling you inside...

I want to show you all of my love,

I want you to see what could be won,

If you and I could give it a go for real,

Imagine the love, the passion we'd feel...

So for now I want to make you close your eyes,

And feel and hear all that is inside...

Forever I want you to know,

That my heart is with you whether I stay or go...

Afternoon Glow

There was nothing about you that didn't blow my mind
From head to toe, the way you kissed me, the way you glowed
You have no idea the price I'd pay to have that again and again...

Your eyes, they are like the deepest sea and I feel when you look into me
That there is nothing I can do, I am so enthralled with you...

Your skin, so shiny, slippery, sweet
Your touch, your look, your whole physique...
There is so much I yearn to do, baby you can make it all come true...

I went to Heaven and back in one afternoon

I hope I see that place again real soon
Because you have left a fire in me
A desire, down to the wire, the best I've seen...

Nothing does compare to you
No one holds a candle to you
You have no idea just what you possess
Nothing short of perfect- no more, no less...

Real

Baby, spin me around like you do in all my dreams. Make life seem so colorful, so perfect, so serene. Baby make me hunger for your kiss and touch again... Nothing in this world is the same since I found you, since "we" began...

Yes you make me crazy, make life magic, make fantasy real. Yes you touch the deepest parts that I never thought I'd feel. Baby, make me feel so good just like you always do... Inside of me, there is a place that I save just for you... You have no idea what you do.

Baby, all you have to do is say my name and I can't help but fall. I never thought I'd fall again, but this is hardly like falling at all... I cannot and I will not say just what it is I feel, for now I have to accept fate and just remind myself it's real... With any chance I'll heal... Never tell you what I feel...

Baby, whether I heal or feel or learn how to deal... Nothing in this life so far has ever been so real...

I

Don't know where I'm going but I know just where I've been

Everyone on the outside says I have a bright future but I don't know where to begin...

I can't help but think that I'm leading a solo life, that maybe it wasn't simply a lonely start

But the optimism in me says it's alright, and I hold onto nothing but love in my heart...

Not sure what comes next on my path just yet but something tells me that I am enough

And this life should be led with no regret and I am all I need to be, especially tough...

I am not someone who simply lies down to quit

But I cannot be that woman that gives all and doesn't get

But I do know I am someone who is worth your very best

So give me all you have to give and I'll give you the rest...

Everything inside of me it screams to just let go

But there is more to life than this

Much better to find and I do know

That I am the one in control right now, I am the one to blame

If all I do is sit back in jest and win but do not claim...

If Anything

If there is anything you think I wouldn't give
Well think again
I'd give anything and everything
To make you more than a friend.
If there is anything you think I wouldn't change
Then change your mind
Because you'll see I'm willing to do
Much more than you thought you'd find.
I know I think beyond the lines of what
Is possible for you
But baby you are worth the dreams
Even if they can't come true...
So here I am, giving you my all
And regrets I will never have
You are worth the time, the heart
Well worth the air I breathe...

So if there's anything you think I wouldn't give
Honey, think again
I'd give my all, my rise, my fall
To be your everything...

Times

In times when I don't see you
There's a void inside my soul
An aching throughout my body
A temptation put on hold...
In times when I am lonely
I just think about your company
I imagine you here with me
And that's something I can hold...
I keep our memories close to me
For fulfillment until the next time
That I am in your presence
That your body presses mine...
In times when I need sanctity
I creep into my mind
And there I find a lingering touch
I feel until next time...
In times when I just miss you
I remember it won't be long
Before I'm next to you again
I always bring that hope along...

Setting Sun

Every time your lips touch mine, you blow my mind, you are so fine
Every time you pass by, my eyes light up, can't hide my smile
Everything about you turns me on, I cannot say no to you, I am just your pawn
And no that doesn't bother me, there's nowhere else I'd rather be
Than in your arms or next to you, smiling at the thought of you
My heart jumps at the sight of you, you do something to me
Something new and something good, the kind of thing a real man should
You give me dreams to see at night, you give me hope, you give me light
You lighten my heart and brighten my days
You're special in the most unique ways
You are better to see than the setting sun
Better to me than anyone
Lord knows I would love to give you all
And make sure that you'd never fall...

Every time your lips touch mine, I can feel the warmth of the setting sun
And I know that it is something true, something that could only come from you...

Every Time Our Eyes Meet

Every time my eyes meet yours

I find there is much more in store

Than I had thought, than I could fathom

You are much more than I could imagine...

In your presence, every breath I take

Is taken knowing there's more at stake

Than just my body, and my mind

You give more than I thought I'd find...

In something that started as a desire

Something I thought would never aspire

To be much more than you could give

To be this life I love to live...

Every time our eyes meet

I see sunset, I feel complete

Every time my eyes meet yours

I am taken places I've never been before...

In your presence, I find a light

And it never ceases to ignite

A flame that I have never known

A feeling that has continually grown...

Something here just feels so right

I think of you last every night

Right before I fall into dreams

And first in the morning when the light streams

Into my room where I miss you

And wish that you could be there, too

Into my life where I hold you

In high regard and in all I do...

Every time my eyes meet yours

I find there is much more in store

Than first glance gave me reason to believe

As if somehow you were meant for me...

A Simple Thanks

The richness you bring to my life

The laughs, the smiles, your sacrifice

I appreciate what it is that you do

Sometimes it seems like a dream come true

Although it never will be set in stone

I accept that, I truly know

That what it is you do to me

Makes life seem a little more complete

The time you give, the time we share

From my heart and mind will go nowhere

Except to a place where I hold you dear

There is no regret, there is no fear

Somehow you feel safe to me

I admire your thoughtfulness and honesty

I treasure the secrets that you and I share

I'm grateful to have a place for my soul to bare

The things I feel others might not quite grasp

You understand me and I hope that lasts

Because you have given life to me

When I most felt it was hard to breathe

A simple 'thanks' may not be enough

For the smiles you bring, no one else can touch

The depths to which you have surpassed

And the freedom you've given my heart at last

I never thought something so far

Could bring my world back from apart

So this is my simple thanks to you

For being the only one who knows me true

If You Knew

If you knew how I felt,
I wonder if you'd run...
Or would you see this through
until the day that it's done?
If you knew how I felt,
would you still smile like that?
If you knew how I felt
would you take a step back?

If you knew how I felt
How you make my heart melt
How you make my knees weak
How I'm nervous to speak...
If you knew how I felt
When your hand touches mine
When you say my name
When we cross the line...

If you knew how I felt,
I wonder what you'd say
If I ever let it slip
Would you fall away?

No matter how it ends
No matter how it goes
I hope you know how I feel
I hope somehow it shows...

Somewhere

Somewhere between you and me
I feel a rhythm, feel a beat
I feel you deep inside of me
When I look into your eyes

Somewhere between here and sea
I'd find a place for us to be
I'd watch the world go by with you
As we lay tangled in the tide

Somewhere between your heart and mine
I feel there is something undefined
I feel somehow we are intertwined
And it makes me feel alright

Somewhere between right and wrong
I hear your name in every song
The ones singing about passion, about love
But when I look at you I try to listen
Only with my eyes...
Keeps me further from demise
Yet closer to you still...

Somewhere between then and now
I feel a change, I don't know how
I feel the spark become a flame
And fall for you again and again...

Never Want To Say Goodbye

Never want to look at the clock because it ticks away

And then it's on to waiting for another day

To see that look in your eyes, that smile on your face

I swear seeing that takes me to another place

Never want to say goodbye, or see you walk away

Because it means I'll miss you 'til another day

Waiting to smell your skin, and kiss your lips

And wanting to feel your hands on my hips

Never want to say goodnight, it's like turning a page and waiting to fight

Fight to sleep and sleep to dream, wondering if you're dreaming of me

Thinking of you as the minutes pass by and roll into hours until daylight

But that 'good morning' is the sweetest surprise I always know is coming...

You See My Soul

Your eyes see through me
I swear you see my soul
I can feel your hands on me
Without a single touch.
You're more than picture perfect
I freeze when I see you
I cannot move a muscle
I swear I'd fall right through...
The ground that I stand on
Trying to stay graceful
With you in the same space
You have made me grateful...
I dream, I wish, I long
For a man like you
To come to life
Within my heart, I know that you're my guy.
Your eyes see through me
I know you see my soul
I know you could breathe into me
Without even saying "hello"...

Heart On My Sleeve

Your warm, tan skin
It looks so inviting
A man like you would
Have me spending every night in...
That smile, it radiates
I blush and I smile too
Your heart, it makes me
Want to give my all to you...
My mind is going
My heart is showing
It's on my sleeve
Don't want you to leave...
But there you go again
Leaving my mind bending
Leaving my stomach in knots
And my heart in my throat...

Feed You

I see it in your eyes
I want to see your soul
I feel it in your touch
You make my senses glow
I see it in your lips
The way they bend to smile
I feel it in your kiss
You make me yearn for this

I want to feed you
Feed your mind
Feed your heart
Feed your soul
I want to feed you
Feed your desire
Make you whole

I see it in your eyes
The way they read me
I'm an open book
For you I am on fire
I am open
Take a look
I want to be the one
Who sees those lips smile

Just before pure bliss

I want to see the sun
Set in your eyes
As we kiss...

I want to feed you
Feed your mind
Feed your heart
Feed your soul
I want to know you
The side of you
No one knows...

It's Real

Standing here as you drive away,
Trying to smile,
Trying to tell myself it's okay
But I'm here in the dark trying not to cry,
And this chill I have brings tears to my eyes...
Trying to tell myself that someday I'll be able to move on
But something tells me I'm just not that strong...
And baby, you've got me going crazy...
You've got my heart pounding and my knees are weak
My head is cloudy, I can't even speak
And now my phone's going off and I know it's you
And I smile again because I know it's true
That you feel some of what it is I feel
And I'm still standing here, wondering if it's real
But I can feel this all, I know it's real.
I'm still not sure quite how you feel
But baby, no one kisses like that for fun
There's feeling behind that, passion- I know it...
Something every person longs to feel...
So baby, I know it's real..

Need To Stay

How did you do this?
Crept into my heart,
Got into my head,
And right from the start
I should have known
I couldn't hold back
I'm not the kind of girl
To do no strings attached.
But where we are now
I want to stay
I want to continue
I can keep it at bay.
Life is good with you in it
That contagious smile,
This amazing man
Has become my style.
Everytime I see you
It lights up my day
And I always feel better,
I need that to stay.

:)

Simply Cannot Let Go

You have given me dreams I simply cannot let go.
Two in the morning, and I'm wide awake,
Don't want to waste these dreams on sleep,
Although that may make them more real,
In times when I am wide awake it's easier to feel...

You have given me needs I simply cannot let go.
Filling my head with this and that,
Don't want to waste a second letting this go flat,
Although my desires may be unrealistic,
Any chance that I may have, I don't want to miss it...

You have given me a fire I simply cannot let go.
Burning, wanting, walking, running,
I'm focused more now than before.
Although I may not be able to enjoy my dreams with you,
I hope you'll know a piece of you will be in all I do...

Thinking Of You

Thinking of you and the things you do...
Sometimes I wonder what I used to do, before you,
When the skies were blue, maybe I was too
Because I don't remember feeling like this,
I don't remember what I missed...
You take it all away, to a brighter day,
To a place where I wanna be everyday.
Thinking of you, it makes me smile,
Makes me feel like a young, excited child...
Makes me remember that I used to crave,
Anything that remotely could make me feel this way.
Some of those days, I spent bumming out,
But that is now impossible with you around...
You take away all the doubts,
All of the problems I can live without...
I credit you for my brighter days,
For the countless happy and wonderful ways,
You have touched my life with, so sweet...
Maybe you're exactly who I needed to meet.

Don't Have To Say It

I don't have to say it, think you know just what I'm thinking,
And no baby it's not the drinking that has brought me here tonight.
I don't have to say it, think you know just what I'm wanting,
And no baby it's not a fever that has made me so damn hot.

You bring out the things in me I never knew existed,
It all started when we kissed and it has not stopped since.
You make me want to act on things I never knew I wanted,
Things I never even thought of until you came to my life...

I don't have to say it, think you know just what I'm thinking,
And no baby it's not the drinking that has brought me here tonight.
I don't have to say it, think you know just what I'm wanting,
And baby, nothing except for you could truly make me so damn hot...

(untitled)

If I had all the words to say to make your days complete,
I'd do my best, always ready, I wouldn't miss a beat.

If I could give you everything I know I have to give,
I would give it gladly, I'd love to truly live...

If I could count the stars in the sky, and match them with the ones in your eyes,
I'd spend all night under the moonlit sky and count them all for you.

For now I do what I know and I learn what I don't, working hard to make sure you don't know
What it is you truly make me feel, it's better than anything and it's so damn real...

I've Never Known A Fire

The things that I just cannot say,
I'm sure you have an idea anyway...
That sparkle in your big, bright eyes,
Is something I hope never fades...
Any touch, even those that are slight,
I cannot let a chance slip by...
To touch your skin, in all it's warmth,
You have no idea how heavy this want...
Still, I don't want you to let worry in,
I know where we are and where we've been...
I have a suspicion this isn't quite what we planned,
But I believe it's something we can withstand...
So hold on honey, when you get the chance,
I don't wanna let go, no matter the circumstance...
I've never known a fire, a passion so rich,
And now I couldn't settle for less than this...

Something Unlike Tonight

Another night, I lay in bed alone, suffering the heat and the only thing I've got on,
is you on my mind...
Yeah, it's hard on a girl who is missing you, not to think of all the things you make her want to do.
You have no idea what it's like from this side, fixing myself for minimal sleep tonight.
Any lucky girl that's had a touch of you, would know what it's like to be in these shoes...
I want to be yours, even in this way. Not sure how long this way will stay but I'm here now and can't see going away...
Some other night I may be with you and the heat won't be as unbearable and my mind won't be missing you terrible...
Hoping you know I am thinking of you, hard not to imagine you're thinking of me too... Tomorrow's a new day and I'm setting my sights...
On somewhere and some way, something unlike tonight...

YOU

Spending a Friday evening at home, chatting with you
About everything and anything, it's easy to do.
I don't bother going out, don't bother leaving home,
Pour a glass of wine and sit with you on the phone...
Yeah, that is what has made me happy tonight,
Forgetting all of the stress, the annoyances in life.
Of course I am left missing your gorgeous, smiling face,
But anything with you makes this home a brighter place...
Just knowing that tomorrow I might get to hear that laugh,
Maybe see that smile, feel a light touch as you pass...
Everything you do to me, you do it so damn well.
I know I wasn't supposed to, but I'm sure you know I fell...

So here I am, drinking my wine. Nothing in the world but YOU on my mind.
And I am happy, feeling fine. Nothing like YOU to get me high...

When It Comes To You

When it comes to you it goes like this,
It started with a smile, continued with a kiss...
I was hardly hesitant at all,
Didn't take long to make me fall...
Chances are- this has an expiration
I have come to that realization.
But nothing is stopping me from wanting you...
Nothing will change the things I want to do...

I will not let limits shy me away
From something I want every single day.
Your impact has been larger than you know,
And my appreciation is bound to show...
Given the chance I'd make you mine,
I'd give it all, give it all the time...
Unfulfilled desire, I don't want to know that pain
So I'll take my chance, and I'll hop on this train.

When it comes to you it is pure bliss,
From your bright eyes to your amazing kiss...
I look forward to times when we are alone,
You are, in the flesh, far better than you know.
Thinking of you, it just brightens my days,
You are beyond amazing in so many ways.
I've truly never known a man like you,
I wish I had known you my whole life through...

Pass Me By

Maybe my intentions weren't the best laid plans,
But there is something you have just got to understand...
You are not a man that I could let pass me by,
You aren't the kind of man that simply catches my eye...

Something about you made my mind run wild,
It could have been your laugh, could have been your smile...
Something about you made me need to have a taste,
It's everything about you, it's all perfectly in place...

Maybe my intentions were a bit out of line,
I know that I came along at an inopportune time...
But you are not a man that I could let pass me by,
You aren't the kind of man that I could not at least try...

Given the circumstance I know that I may be wrong,
But I see you and I could recite the words to any song,
That means enough to play only for the perfect man,
I know I'll never have all I want, yes I understand...

So maybe my intentions weren't the best laid plans,
But I will throw the chips and let them lay where they land...
Because you are not a man that I could let pass me by,
And the more I get to know you, I can see exactly why...

July

The way your tan skin glistened in the hot heat of July
The way that every now and then we were eye to eye
The way that your hands controlled every move I made
The way you had me going, I wish you could have stayed.

Standing face to face, bodies dripping sweat,
The smell and taste of lust, I will never forget...
Your eyes, your lips, your hands; I want to have again,
Your kiss has taken me places that I have never been...

It cannot be the last time and place that our faces meet,
There will never be another man that could ever compete...
The way you make me feel, the way you make me high,
The way that you have grown on me, I never want to say goodbye...

Not Running Away

I'm lost and confused in wondering when
And how it is I'll see you again
Without all of the barriers that block
What you and I may have and want.

It's hard to say just how I feel
Because I try to act like it's not real
But I think you know without me saying
And I would love nothing more than staying.

I want nothing but good for you
I want to see you smile the way you do
I never want to see pain in those eyes
I love how they seem to sparkle from the inside.

I'm here and I'm not running away
If ever there does come a day
That you need space or to see me go
I'll always be your friend, you know...

Greed

The things I want to do to you...
No, I can't say but if only you knew.
The things for you I have in mind...
They make my head just spin and wind.

The more I get of you the more I need...
I cannot fight this want, this greed.
Don't care what I have to do to get to you...
But fighting this greed is something I can't do.

It's late at night and you're on my mind...
There's got to be a way for me to find.
And I will find it if it's all I do...
This greed is conquering me, I'm wanting you.
