LOVE WILL KEEP US ALIVE

There was a time I lived in sorrow and dread,
My heart was so black and my soul was dead.
You came into my life with a heart full of love,
As though you were a sweet angel,
Sent down to me from heaven above.

The softness of your true love,
Made all my tension to rest.
You helped bring out those qualities
Which I needed to be my best.

Your words of kindness warmed my heart, when I was feeling sad
You raised me up and took me in, of this I am so glad
You didnt judge, look down on me, when I was feeling at guilt
Instead you showered me with love, our eyes that day did meet

They say it is the small things, sweet gestures say a lot
And this is true of you I know, my past I have forgot
Each time you say a nice thing, I store it safe inside
And bring it out from time to time, when fallen from the tide

It lifts me up and gives me hope, it reassures my ways
I was with you, I will be with you, and will always be with you, for all the days
So thank you very much my dear, for giving this to me
A priceless gift in my mind to keep & for my heart to see



My dear sweetheart,
I haven’t told you this,
I always guess that people know,
But you are a part of my existence,
Part of my reality
And heart.
I can carry on
And cover simple words
With complicated meanings,
But at the end
All I will say is
Thank you and
I love you..
