As I Watch You Sleep

I watched you sleep. In the dark of the night
With such a smile on my face, That brings joy to my heart.
Night after Night, We're so out of sight, Nobody knows.
Alone so empty, Betrayed by love,  Ones we trusted.
Ones so close to our very heart, Ones we thought so true. 
Yet what could we do. 
 
Lost souls of the heart, Its what we'd become .
Now we bond as one, You said yes , Im so glad as did i , 
On that very site, To our delight .
 
Then we spoke , How could we have known.
What we'd feel, On that very first night. 
So much in common, It took us by surprise, 
So alike my love, In so many ways.
Miles apart yet, So close in our hearts .
They beat as one .
 
So much passion, Our open hearts share . 
Yet so much pain, Just the same .
Our betrayed loves, Its what they done .
Destroyed us bit at a time, Then came back for more .
 
Now its us, In so little time, yet so close we've become.
A feeling so strong, A bond so close.
One of a kind,  We're both the same.
 
I give you me, Heart, body and soul.
I promise you loyalty, truth and never will i betray.
A love so strong you'll never want let go.
 
A heart so pure, You'll always believe. 
No cause to doubt, Its just me. 
Thats what you'll see.
