Through the Tears

The way I love you
I cannot describe
No word has been spoken
That could ever explain the way you make me feel alive
No heart has been broken
That could equal what has now been contrived
Through starlit midnights
I wander
My feelings I try to understand
Alone and weakened
I sit and ponder
I can almost see myself in the palm of your hand
Memories flood so deep inside
I shiver then lose my breath
Recalling when last you made me cry
Inside my mind was death
Salty tear drops moistened my cheek
Makeup smeared around my eyes
For far too long I was so weak
Through the tears I saw it otherwise
From my window I peek
I stare
Our eyes met and I cast a loving glare
You're in my heart
I know just where
I try so very hard to make you aware
So thankful am I that you came my way
Your shining light crept in and chased the shadows away
I opened my heart to you that day
In there my love is where you'll stay
You hold me so gently in your protective arms
Together our hearts beat a similar song
Sheltered with love from all of life's harms
In a moment like this nothing could be wrong
