The Sounds of a Storm

Thunder booms - It is my heart beating

The rain falls - It is my tears falling

Lightening flashes - It is the way my eyes glow

Wind blows - It is my heavy breaths...

Flowers grow - Inside my chest

Sunlight shines - Through my ribs and grows

Animals wake - And so beautifully start singing

Ice melts - You must be cheating 

Because my heart has never beat this loud,
My tears have never came so happily out,
My eyes have never taken on this glow,
My breathing has never been so heavy; so fast and slow,
My chest has never felt alive,
That thing behind my ribs never knew it could survive,
My soul has never sang such a beautiful song,
So you must be cheating; how did you make me fall?

For you my soul sings so sweet,
the words and sound have a pleasent ring,

For you, you brought my heart alive,
now I dont fear that it will die,

For you a garden of flowers grow,
within my heart, its somewhere only you can go,

For you, you make me forget how to breath,
one moment its heated, the next im dreaming,

For you make my eyes glow,
they take on a shine, a look that no one else knows,

For you, you are the one who can make me cry,
but my lovely darling, you also make me smile,

For you make my heart beat wild,
so loud it could be thunder heard for a mile,

Some moments it scares me, or makes me confused,
but one thing saves me, I know I love you,

Something tells me, we were meant to be,
only time can tell, so I guess we'll have to see,

But if the angels, are listening to my prayers,
I hope they let us stay together, I hope forever Im yours
