Love of My Life

A faint smile in the distance 
A long held memory
I'm afraid our little moments are only temporary 
But I'll keep them in my heart forever
Leaving my mind to be severed 

You are the love of my life
Hundreds of miles apart 
The pain hits me like a dart
So badly I want to be in your arms
There, I am away from all harm

The smart remarks 
The happiness that we share
You have no idea how much I care
Like birds in the sky
You make my emotions fly

And I love it when you make my heart flutter
A feeling that I can hardly bear
Oh, but it's ever so rare
I'm taking a risk and rolling the dice 
But it's worth the price

If your love was all I had
That would be enough until the end of time
And if loving you is a crime
Then guilty is what I'll be
Because you saved me
