My Spirit You

My Spirit You How you came to be here I just don’t know But now it feels like You were always there A stranger in the darkness Waiting for the light of love to show How you’ve always been there Someone I have always known Now you are like a blue girl Dressed in summer clothes Laughing in the sunshine Playing on the swings of my heart Rising to the heavens And out beyond the stars A picture of my freedom Flowing in your flaming auburn hair And I want to run, run right to you But I can only stand and stare At the beauty that surrounds you Its recognition in my eyes Has always been there And I am a timid little schoolboy Who’s bravery slowly grows Captured by the sweetness of a southern rose Surprise myself by kissing your cheek And fumbling for the words And all I can do is take your hand In the middle of my life’s old playground Placing on your head A daisy chain crown My Princess with her golden arrow Cupid shot straight into my soul Seems you’ve always been there Playing on the strings Breaking on my tears For eternal loving Lifting in my spirit you And all I can do Is love you And all I can do is want you From a distance Like an inept teenager Confronted and confounded by your loveliness And can only think of what he would do to her Given half the chance His flushed blood leaving him immobile And fidgeting alone in anguished prose Of flashing eyes And swelling curves And the sound of her voice makes his head spin And all I can do, is be the man I am And tell you How much I love you And how this did not come to me But grew inside me A seed planted sometime and somewhen That new its conclusion before it ever began Seems you’ve always been there Seems this place was made for you Seems my heart always belonged to you Seems I am irrevocably Uncontrollably Irresistibly In love With you
