My Love Song Gift

My Love Song Gift

This is my gift to you, my dear Other Half

For neither an anniversary or a new path

It’s just because I know you like my vocal-cord sounds

My dictionary has failed me in giving me any words

To describe how much you turned my world around

I thought of drawing a blue-jay in flight

To remind me of your sapphire blue sight

Or a young Jacaranda tree in bloom

Extraordinary and different like you

A red rose sprinkled with dew

Fresh and striking and old-school new

A diamond shining in the light

But none of the above seemed right

So I decided I would take a chance

And write how I see you in every glance

Since the first day, that absolutely stunning dawn

I can’t believe that there’s a perfect sunrise playing on my lawn

You glow, you shine, and you made me blind

So beautiful, sweet and kind

Your voice is my favourite instrument

Fluent and rich and harmonious

I almost died but your face kept me conscious

Then the melodic notes first hit my ears

It sounded like you sang to me and brought me to tears

I had the privilege to see you again

How did you have my inner-drum beating

So fast, so hard? It’s a wonder you didn’t hear

But time went by and you brought your ears near

You heard my drumbeat and I’ve always known yours

We were slamming our drums together

And breaking all the floors

You played my heart-strings to the sweetest melody

I hoped that you were my meant-to-be

‘Cause I can’t live without that tune

The song we made under the moon

One night, and I think you remember when

Came a moment my courage thought it might win

There was this little thing

It was persistent and insisting

I wanted to kiss you

You made me brand-new

But I didn’t know if you might not want me

I couldn’t take it anymore, I needed you so badly

I didn’t want to lose you, my Heart-keeper

But it felt like there was a drumroll

At the back of my mind

An anxious crowd hushed to silence

Believe me, I was trying

I moved a little closer to your picture-perfect face

My eyes on your master-piece mouth

They drifted to your starry blue orbs

A second before my lips met yours

And my brain completely shut down

Heaven on earth, finally complete

My heart is yours forever to keep

Every day you bring me to life again

In my head Our Love Song Life is constantly playing

This is my gift to you

Because you are a gift to me

Priceless, non-returnable

And exactly what I need
