To the one I am looking for...

What would I say if you showed up
On my doorstep today?
I would smile, and laugh--
Hug you so tight you laughed too.
I would invite you in,
Offer you some dinner--something to drink.
Come, sit with me on the couch...
Let's cuddle together--
Who cares if it's summertime,
Let's curl up and pretend it's a snow day.
Let me lay my head on your shoulder,
Wrap your arms around me...
Keep me close...
I would kiss you.
Kiss you for so long.
Come, follow me to the bed.
Wrap your arms around me,
Keep me closer.
I would kiss you,
And strip your clothes off
While you stripped off mine.
I would tell you that I will walk with you,
I will run with you.
I will just stand with you when you need me to.
I will listen to you,
I will carry you when you fall,
I will hold you so tight.
I will love you more than you could ever imagine.

While you are miles and miles away,
If I could talk to you today,
I would ask how your day was.
I would tell you about my adventures here--
Going to the lumber yard and yoga,
And my excitement over my new niece.
I would ask you about your travels...
Is it as beautiful as they say?
Tell me everything about it...
I want so badly to know all you are doing,
All you are experiencing and learning.
If I could talk to you today,
I would tell you that I will walk with you,
I will run with you.
I will just stand with you when you need me to.
I will listen to you,
I will carry you when you fall,
I will hold you so tight.
I will love you more than you could ever imagine.

My memories of us are so clear--
Like the warm summer days I adore.
The smile on your face
Is the bright shining sun,
And the cool blue moonlight.
Your eyes are the sparkle of the stars at night
And the glitter of diamonds on the water.
Your laughter like the morning birds,
Drawing me slowly out of slumber,
And into the most beautiful dream.
If I could tell you what I really felt,
I would tell you that I will walk with you,
I will run with you.
I will just stand with you when you need me to.
I will listen to you,
I will carry you when you fall,
I will hold you so tight.
I will love you more than you could ever imagine.
