In my mind resides all my love
Every word begins and ends with you
I keep them safe inside my heart
Holding onto them as yours and mine
Written down in the pages of my soul
Kept under lock and key forever
--<--<--<--{@
Locked in an embrace together forever
My mind's words speak and spell out Love
Touching the vocal center of my soul
Daring to sing praises of all that is you
Longing to hear from your lips you're mine
Worry not, the pages aren't of a fragile heart
--<--<--<--{@
I spent time strengthening my lovesick heart
Building a space where you can reside forever
Sleep in my arms, rest in this heart of mine
Yes, the beating you hear from my chest is love
They say it is a language from inside me to you
Made to be read and spread to only your soul
--<--<--<--{@
Created with tender verse to sing to your soul
A declaration trumpeted from my lips to your heart
Nothing or no one can stop my words flowing to you
My mind is lost in a floating crescendo of forever
It's never been about anything at all but love
May my words ring true as heartfelt eyes greet mine
--<--<--<--{@
Even in silence let my words ring out that you are mine
And if you can commit to me the beauty of your soul
The music will play and the words will spell out love
Pages turn slowly giving us time to explore our heart
I won't last a day without the goal being forever
Let's start our lives with a song, with words, me and you
--<--<--<--{@
Our story is being written even as I move close to you
Having written stanzas of prose to someday claim you as mine
There is no time like now to begin our forever
My actions, volumes written will announce the intentions of my soul
And you will fall flawlessly forward into my waiting heart
Where everything begins, proceeds and ends with love
--<--<--<--{@
Our forever will begin today writing a new chapter for me and you
Your love will finally live together with mine, in verse and otherwise
Our soul will be the contents, and our hearts the cover of a new book.
