On My Mind and In My Heart

I sit here
now in mid
of night while
you are probably
sleep

And think
of you instead
of rest my thoughts
of you are
deep

I see
you smile and
then you laughed
this happens all
the time

Your lovely
face forever
trapped plays
inside my
mind

I looked
outside one
early morn and
saw a gorgeous
day

Immediately
I thought of
you in such
a natural way

But actually
your loveliness
out shines a
gorgeous morn

And lights
my heart the
very place my
love for you
was born

And when
my love for
you was born
inside my caring
heart

The love
was born
immensely strong
right from the
very start

And even
now my love
for you grows
stronger all the
time

It’ll never
stop, its strength
will grow, even
when you’re
mine

So here I
sit in mid
of night while
you are probably
sleep

And think
of you instead
of rest my thoughts
of you are
deep

But when
I fall into
my sleep my
thoughts of you
won’t part

They’ll simply
bound out of
my mind and
land inside my
heart
