I AM IN LOVE WITH YOU
I am in love with you.
Perhaps it’s because you constantly surprise me
even tho’ I’m always looking…
I turn around, and there
you are.
I wash my face, and there you are.
Greet a frown with a smile,
accept a hug from a child—
there you are.
Oh, how I love you!
Your Music is everywhere.
In my companion’s eyes,
in the voices of those who speak to me,
in the roar of human momentum,
in the stillness of a tree—
you sing to me.
I turn around, and there
you are.
I wash my face, and there you are.
Greet a frown with a smile,
accept a hug from a child—
there you are.
I wear me down, and there
you are.
I lose a race, and there you are.
And when my words are less than kind
and my fears are running wild—
there you are.
I am in love with you.
Simply because I cannot otherwise
be me.
