How I Know

I want to fall asleep with you every night, 
and wake up in your arms every morning.
Wanting to look in your eyes, and see your
face, before anything else.
That's how I know I love you.
Wanting to do these things with you, 
just you.
With you I can be happy.
With you I can live.
With you I can be whole.
I've tried it with others,
I've tried it alone, but without you,
my heart doesn't work.
That's how I know I love you.
It's always been you, no one else,
just you.
