Wrapped in a Firey Faith

The sun shines,

On her golden hair,

And I remember,

When I couldn't tell her,

A word,

And somehow I can not believe,

That was ever me,

Because now I smile,

When she's happy,

And I'm crushed,

When she cries.

Now,

I can only talk to her,

And I could never imagine,

Walking out on her,

When she's given me,

The most amazing gift,

Of love,

And in that moment,

I realize,

That I do not deserve her,

When I've given her nothing,

And yet,

She's still here.

She still sits with me,

Wrapped in my arms,

In front of a fire,

On a summer night,

Marshmallows roasting,

Underneath our noses.

It's perfect,

And despite the sense,

Of feeling selfish,

I'm content,

That she's in my arms,

And nobody else's.

I am content,

That she is mine,

And I can only have faith,

She will always be mine.
