I Don't Mind

In the realm of your loving arms, I find my sanctuary,
A haven where the world's din and chaos flee,
I don't care about the whispers of the crowd,
For with you, my love, my heart is proud.

As long as you love me, babe, I'm free,
Everything else is but a story, lost in the sea,
Of your tender touch, your gentle care,
All else disappears, and I'm left with you, bare.

It's not the gold that shines, nor the hue of your skin,
Nor the attire that adorns you, my love within,
It's the way you make me feel, the warmth of your heart,
That draws me in, and never lets me part.

With you, I'm home, in every sense of the word,
A place where love resides, and my soul is stirred,
I don't care what others say, or the path we may take,
As long as I'm with you, our love will never break.

Even in the lion's den, or the darkest of pits,
With you by my side, I'd brave the fiercest of hits,
Under the bridge, or in the stormy night,
With you, my love, I'd find the light.

All I want is to be your man, to stand by your side,
To hold your hand, and ride life's tide,
You're everything I've ever needed, my guiding star,
The secret I hide, the passion that's near and far.

Even if the world goes against me, I'd face the test,
Knowing you're there, my love, I'd find my best,
In your eyes, my heart finds a home,
With you, my love, I am never alone.

You're the melody that soothes my soul,
The rhythm that makes my heart whole,
You're the missing piece that makes me complete,
With you, my love, my heart skips a beat.
