I lay awake at night
Thinking of you
You're constantly on my mind
A video playing on loop

I never planned this
I'd hoped one day to find that special someone
Like a tidal wave
You crashed through the barriers around my heart

Walls I erected to protect me
After so much pain I'd experienced
Knives jabbed into my heart
Ripping at it from ones I trusted

Piece by piece
You slotted it back together
Like a jigsaw puzzle
And you are that final piece that was missing

You gave me hope
When all had been lost
You showed me real love
A feeling I'd never truly experienced before

The oceans that keep us apart
Tear at this aching feeling each day
In hope one day to look upon each other
To get a chance to thank you in person

To hold you, kiss your lips
To lay at your side through the night
To fuck you, not with lust or desire
But a love so sensual and soft

My heart is now yours to hold
Treat it gently as if it was your own my love
For it is still fragile and needs looking after
To wipe away the scars of those who hurt me before

This poem was written just for you
To show the world these feelings deep inside
Ones I hope I have expressed in these words today
To simply say those three words we all wish to hear

I... Love... You.
