To a Special Someone

Here again, all alone, I stand,
So pensive and spellbound;
Here I wait by the cool sea-strand
For you to come around.

If I could find the perfect way
To tell what's on my heart,
It won't be what I want to say.
No words can play the part.

Oh, how I wish that you could see
The pictures in my mind
Of memories you shared with me,
Of what you helped me find.

You taught me how to laugh inside
And how to start anew;
You told me where the angels hide,
Of stars in drops of dew.

We sat each dawn under our tree
Waiting for the sunrise.
I remember yearning to see
The moon shine in your eyes.

I kept each poem that we read --
Only to each other --
I treasure all you ever said,
Each loving word savor.

You made me smile, you dried my tears,
You healed my broken soul;
I came to you and, through the years,
You never let me go.

I pray for you each day and night,
You never leave my care;
You hold my shadow, star so bright,
None other can compare.

If, God forbid, we must depart --
Don't worry, I won't leave --
Promise me you'll keep my heart,
I love you, this believe.
