Your lovely complexion,
Is not what gained my affection.
'Twas not your downy hair,
Which I must confess look more than fare.
Not your eyes' piercing gaze,
Which holds my hearts in a loving haze.
Nor the soft touch of your skin,
'Twas something found much deeper within.
'Twas the way your gazes made me shudder,
And your heartfelt words made my insides flutter.
The way you made me see my many-a-mistake,
Is a way, my heart, you did take.
And my heart you will hold for all time,
Until I die and can no longer call you mine.
And if I may never again call you thus,
My heart will continually, forever fuss.
For I now know what I have been lacking all of this time,
Is the courage to tell you of this never-ending love of mine.

My Love, There is so much about you that made me happy before.
So much I cannot even count the score.
You made me feel whole, something I had never felt.
A breath, I do long to breathe.
And then I would wait,
Till my breathing you did relieve.
My love for you is this great.
This is how, me, you do complete.
So great is this love I feel for you,
That now I cannot see,
How could I let you slip away so easily?
I'm sorry if I neglected you at times,
I'm sorry if I ever mistreated you,
I'm sorry if you never knew,
How much you really meant to me,
How much you still do.
For a never ending, never changing love is what you deserve.
Love that is always there for you to turn to,
No matter what it is that you must go through.
A love that will never change,
Except to grow, in admiration of you.
I give you this love of mine,
Now and forever more.
Only you will hold my heart,
Now and for all time.
You are my only.
You are my everything.
Please say I can call you mine?
