The Warmth written between 1993-1997
As the snow piles up outside
As the daylight begins to fade
The temperature continues to drop
I sit in the warmth of the fire
In the warmth of your arms, your love
I become warm, from the inside out
We cuddle in the flickering light
Taking refuge from the chill outside
Not losting the warmth of each other’s touch
Only wishing for time to stop
Cherishing he moment in all my heart
Never wanting to leave your side or arms
I think back to all our time together
Back to the smiles of the summer past
Even further, to the days of highschool
Remembering the crush I had
Remembering the guts I did not
Remembering back to, if only she would
Then I look forward to the future
I see more smiles and laughs
And I see a love that will not die
I again look to the present
I gaze in to your eyes
I can see this love that we share
I hold you even closer
Never wanting to let go
I whisper, I love you
I see the warmth of your smile
I feel the warmth of your touch
The coldness of the night disappears
I begin to wonder why it is so
I think, what could have done this?
What could have brought us together?
How did we find true love?
Something so evasive, so hard to find
Not many people do in their lifetime
I know how lucky I am
For receiving a second chance
For I was too blind to see the first
I know there is nothing I will ever do
Nothing at all, to lose this love
For this love we have is too strong
I will never start a fight
Nor will I ever cheat or forget
For true love is an undying force
I again look in to your eyes
Seeing the face I so love
Knowing there is nothing more beautiful
You have brought with you the warmth
It chases away the cold
For this I must thank you
<Redacted>, I love you! Always and forever.
