My Angel

I sail away, down this quiet river.
I look around to see your face.
I’m on my own until I think of you.
In my mind is now your place.

The breeze all around, brings me home.
Running my fingers through the stream
I know you are with me, my Angel.
To think of us, allows me to dream

The scent of your perfume in my mind
Knowing it’s not real, but I hold it, still.
Having an empty feeling, being all alone.
You then amaze me, the strength of your will.

I’ll have nothing to fear with you so near
The river so long, but its my chosen path.
It’s the destiny that I chose for myself.
I truly know its you I’ll have, just see me.

You are the angel that always protects me.
With out you, I’ll be pulled back to the dark.
With your eyes you make me feel free.
With my angel, I can fly like a lark.

With you I can take on the world
Everything is clear, even my soul
You shine on me with love from heaven
To love you is my life’s only goal

Hold me close when I come home
From my travels so long and  some sad
I’ve caused pain ,I know this to be true
Wanting to absorb the times you were mad

Just wanting you, needing you so much
We have been together, before this life
I need you, I feel your  blessed protection
All I did was cut like a knife

You are mine, and I am  forever yours
Embrace me and feel my hearts love
Hurting inside with the pain I caused
You and I are blessed from heaven up above
