WHAT YOU INSPIRE

when I think of you
I wish I could sing you a tune
I wish I could write the greatest love song
because that's what you inspire in me

I sit and lose time thinking of all the ways
I would make you happy if given a chance
I think of all the heartache I've endured
the worthless suitors, the useless deceivers
and I feel myself smile on the inside
because somehow, your arrival
has made all of them worth my pain

if all I endured molded me to be what you needed
then I would walk through hell one more time
just to guarantee I end up here, with you, again

you inspire me to dig deeper and try harder
you inspire in me a need to truly evolve
into my true spiritual self simply because
perfection is what I want to be for you

I want to be the reason your eyes light up
the reason you smile every morning
and rush home every evening

I want to be the pep in your step ... the sun in your sky
I want to be a full moon rising, shining light on our life
I want to write beautiful sonnets and odes to our love
I want to create the greatest love story
unlike any that's ever been told

I want to absorb your pain and carry your load
I want to fight your demons and heal your wounds
I want to be your everything
because I know that's what you will be

I want to be your weakness ... as you are to me
