To Lyric

To Lyric Shh, shh, shh, I love the sound of her breathing. Shh, shh, shh, I love her heavy panting. Under me or above me, She is still so real. So real, I secretly pinch my skin And hope it isn't a dream. How much I wonder how it would sound when she laughs? How much I think about the lone tear that left her eye? My heart could not beat, even from afar. I wanted to hold her and caress her hair, Like they do in the books she likes to read. I want to leave her breathless, wanting more From all the love I hold inside. A raise of her lips is all I seek As I whisper, "I love you" and circle My fingers on her back, the night enviously fades. When they ask how a firecracker could love a candle, I say, she lights up my world even in my darkest days. She is my rainbow, my guiding star. Who loves me, even with my scars My girl doesn't need words to show me how she feels, And makes the tedious work seem fun. For her, I will skip meals; For her, I will fight thieves. For her, my broken heart beats.
