Have this picture of you
In my eyes, in front of me,
Reach out to it every now and then,
Kiss it; make myself believe you are there,
When all I want to do is love you,
All day,
All night,
Every day.
But all I have is this picture,
In my eyes, in front of me,
They said love would be difficult,
They said love would test you,
Bend you, fill you,
With happiness, joy,
I sit up; brush aside all the thoughts,
Clogging my mind,
Filling me with despair,
That every passing day would bring me,
Closer to that end,
That end of time,
With you beside me.
Time will pass,
Things will change,
We will change,
Our thoughts, opinions,
Our distances,
Everything.
But the one thing that drives me,
That keeps me ready,
To face the end,
Is the thought of you,
Beside me,
With me.
Always.
I know that day will come,
The wait is all that is needed,
To keep going,
With a meaning and purpose in life,
That meaning, my dear is you.
I don’t think anymore,
I look at your picture,
Smiling at me,
Calling me, those hands,
Colours, beautiful colours,
Of your eyes, lips, skin,
Captivating, like an angel’s.
Then suddenly,
I find myself smiling too.
Because I now know,
What it means to love,
To give, to make you happy,
I bend my back, pour over
The books lying in front of me.
The time is now,
To make you happy,
To have that vision,
To build that future.
That I dream of,
That I want to have, with you beside me.
Have this picture of you,
In front of me,
Smiling at me.
I wake up, from slumber,
Dreaming of you.
I smile at you,
Get up, sit down to work,
For that day,
That future,
That tomorrow,
To come.
The music fills me,
Intoxicating,
I lunge for the picture,
Kiss it, feel that you are there,
With me, watching me,
Scolding me, loving me,
Love every moment of it,
As I dream, work,
With your thoughts, the books,
Nothing will be the same anymore,
Nothing will fill me with despair,
As I pour over the work,
And keep telling myself,
Loving you,
Has been the best thing
That happened, to me,
I finally close my eyes,
With you in my dreams, in my eyes.
You, all of you,
The smile, the frown,
It doesn’t hurt anymore,
For I know,
I have your love,
Forever and always.
