Gently, softly you've entered into the shadows of my heart

and banished the darkness that dwelled within me.

Using only True Love as your weapon to set my soul ablaze

with a passion, a desire, unlike anything I have ever known.

To say I want you is to state the obvious.

To say I need you, I long for you, for us to be as one,

as one soul pure of heart should be,

is to say I love you more than life.

I lay awake at night staring at the stars.

I feel as though I can almost touch their radiant light

as it beams down on me giving me comfort

when I am alone without you.

When the stars seem to change their shape,

to a new unearthly form.

To a pair of eyes as deep as the sea, as brilliant as the stars

and a smile as warm as the sun.

I reach to touch what seems to be a playful angel

sent to me by God.

When I realize that in truth,

I am reaching out for you.
