The Canvas of My Life-- For Jl

Your kind blue eyes, they catch my fall,
You are my tower, strong and tall,
Defenses raised with bars of steel,
I can't describe the way I feel.

I see your smile, it makes my day,
Your laugh takes all the tears away.
Your kisses are my golden rays,
And hugs chase off the skies of grey.

I'd tell you how you took my pain,
And cast it all the other ways,
You cleared my sky of all the rain,
And now I live in clear blue days.

But when I try, tears fill my eyes.
I just can't do it, don't ask why.
Please read these verses, then reply,
And see the truth in hazel eyes:

... I love you.
