My Spirit You
My Spirit You
How you came to be here
I just don’t know
But now it feels like
You were always there
A stranger in the darkness
Waiting for the light of love to show
How you’ve always been there
Someone I have always known
Now you are like a blue girl
Dressed in summer clothes
Laughing in the sunshine
Playing on the swings of my heart
Rising to the heavens
And out beyond the stars
A picture of my freedom
Flowing in your flaming auburn hair
And I want to run, run right to you
But I can only stand and stare
At the beauty that surrounds you
Its recognition in my eyes
Has always been there
And I am a timid little schoolboy
Who’s bravery slowly grows
Captured by the sweetness of a southern rose
Surprise myself by kissing your cheek
And fumbling for the words
And all I can do is take your hand
In the middle of my life’s old playground
Placing on your head
A daisy chain crown
My Princess with her golden arrow
Cupid shot straight into my soul
Seems you’ve always been there
Playing on the strings
Breaking on my tears
For eternal loving
Lifting in my spirit you
And all I can do
Is love you
And all I can do is want you
From a distance
Like an inept teenager
Confronted and confounded by your loveliness
And can only think of what he would do to her
Given half the chance
His flushed blood leaving him immobile
And fidgeting alone in anguished prose
Of flashing eyes
And swelling curves
And the sound of her voice makes his head spin
And all I can do, is be the man I am
And tell you
How much I love you
And how this did not come to me
But grew inside me
A seed planted sometime and somewhen
That new its conclusion before it ever began
Seems you’ve always been there
Seems this place was made for you
Seems my heart always belonged to you
Seems I am irrevocably
Uncontrollably
Irresistibly
In love
With you
