10 Years….

Thinking over things of this year

I stop and wonder

And ask these questions dear

Because they ring in the back of my mind so clear

10 years huh,

So you say

That 10 years ago you would have looked my way

If 10 years ago I was there you would come my way

If I were to bear a child you would stay

10 Years ago you wouldn’t have drifted away

So I would be the one

In the dream house you’d begun

To sit in the yard under the sun

A dream built together as one

I wonder would you have me as your Queen

Would I be the one you treat

With no mistake

The one to get the heartache

Of heartbreak

So you say

Would it really be me

You could choose to be

By your side, ride or die

Sharing the dreams of slices of pie

In the sky

And still I often wonder why

Not that I’m tryin to be fired

But would you still look at me and say

I am as beautiful as the day

Would our bodies still long for each other when we’re away

Would the stars still shine in my eyes for you

Would the kisses still be stuck like glue

All over your hand

Could not stand

To be off me

Caressing and stroking me

No other place I’d rather be

So why me

Why the pursuit of me

What does your heart desire of me

Why does your love long for me

10 Years huh

I want to see

‘Cause I can wait faithfully

And patiently

To hear the words you long to say

But by the way

My ears want to hear

You long after 10 years

I want to see 10, 20, 30 more

More of the love I can’t ignore

More of the man I adore

More of what you’re longing for

10 Years huh

Will that change

Will the love we have still be the same

Will the joy outweigh the pain

Will the chemistry begin a chain

To last past 10 years

No tears no fears

I want more than 10 years

I want forever dear…
