Special Love

Sometimes it's far too easy to Not see the one in love with you. Gone away or right nearby To see clearly you must try To look beyond the pretty face and look for inner peace and grace Those are the things that mean much more then the physical you've been looking for. So each day when you come home Be thankful you are not alone. Someone there has chosen to Spend this day right here with you Despite all the plans they could have made Not a second of life with you they'd trade For the little things that they do for no one in the world but you Next time when you look at them Ask about their day don't just pretend Pay attention to their every word Even if all those stories you already heard For it is of those that made you two Your loving attention made them love you Just because some time has past Don't let these seconds be your last For with each second that you are blessed Share with them that happiness It means so much more when it comes From the person that you truly love Without attention love will surely die Reviving it you can try But once the damage is said and done It will take more work to make you two one. With that work comes it's reward The kind of love you've been searching for So make the time to spend together That time will result in love forever You will have done the very thing That makes love what it is supposed to be Between two people for all time Is what makes your love the special kind.
