Hoping

I love the way your smiles reaches your eyes,

And I love the sound you make when you laugh.

These thoughts invade my mind

More and more each night before I sleep,

A warm and loving blanket for me to grasp

As I close my eyes and dream.

I wish you were here with me.

~

I would hold you tight

And whisper silly things into your ears,

And I'd watch you through the night

As you faded away into your wonderland.

Don't worry, because I'd wait for the day

Just to ask you what you dreamt the night before,

Just to be at your side when you open your eyes

~

I love the way that I can sometimes get lost into you

When you tell me your stories

Or when we laugh at the crazy things we do.

I hope that what I feel is true

And that you sense how much I would honor you.

~

I love the way your smile reaches your eyes.

Once again, I'm thinking of you tonight.

Hoping that you might somehow know,

Praying that you might somehow see,

What you are doing to me,

What I'm feeling inside

For the first time

In a long, long time.
