Done with 'that' life, the best yet to come has been revealed
every second of every minute I think of you
Each day you shelter me behind your broad silver shield
so none of the bad things might get thru
I'm oblivious now to 'that' life's forever raging battlefield


Now we've gotten to see things from each others' perspective--
Our paths crossed, joined, and now share the same objective

I love that it doesn't even matter what we're doing or where we are--
How we have fun at the market, in the kitchen, or cruisin' in the car

I love how you know what I'm thinking by the sound of my sigh--
How we're on the same page when we talk, laugh, or even cry

I love how you smile just like that, it's so cute how your nose wrinkles--
How you know on the phone it's a freez pop by how the plastic krinkles

I love how you touch my face, caressing with the tips of your fingers--
How when you leave the room, the echo of your essence still lingers

I love how you engulf my attention with a single word or just a look--
How you read my every laugh like it's BOLD PRINT in an open book

I love how every song we listen to is as good as the previous and next--
How just between us, they all mean so much more now than just text

I love how deeply you care for me, I've never before been placed first--
How you reached out n' took my hand pulling me away from my worst

I love how spending time with you just feels like home, now and always--
How we've given each other new sight thru eyes once darkened by haze

I love how your curls fall on both sides of your pretty face--
How it wouldn't be worth staying without you in this place


You feel safe, calmed, and at ease in my arms, yes very well protected--
Look deep into my eyes, your hopes and dreams no longer misdirected

My heart and soul race with the speed of a shooting star--
We'll surely make it up to the top, 'no it ain't that far'....
