“What I Love About You” by Nidhi Kaul
The sparkle in your eye,
The warmth of your skin,
Your breath on my neck
That shakes me within.
The touch of your hand,
The smell of your hair,
The naughtiness in your smile,
That strength in your stare.
Your kiss on my lips,
Your body near mine,
The stroke of your touch,
Makes everything feel fine.
The compassion in your touch,
The power in your face,
The beating of your heart,
That we may never end our embrace.
The beauty of your kiss,
And that magic in your touch.
It is for all these reasons and more
Why I love you so much.
“Let Me” – Randy Batiquin
Let me take care of your broken heart
and show you how to fly.
Let me hold you gently by the hand
and kiss your tears goodbye.
Let me lead you to tomorrow’s light
and out of needless rain,
’cause all I want right now
is to see you smile again.
Let me sing you all the songs I wrote
’til you sleep in my embrace,
and I’ll keep you safe and warm until
the sunlight strokes your face.
Let me bring you up the mountain’s peak,
and I’ll let you touch the skies
to remind you of the strength I see
when I look into your eyes.
Let me kiss and show you what is love
and the happiness it brings.
You’ll sail again like a butterfly
endowed with pretty wings.
Let me do all these to let you see
our fates are intertwined.
You’re the accidental precious gem
I’ve waited too long to find.
“When Do I Think Of You?” – Sherry Hilderbrand
I think of you in the morning
before the sun rises,
when in the still of the darkness
my heart feels your presence.
Your love, your tenderness,
your slow rhythmic breathing as you sleep,
and I am at peace.
I think of you when the first rays of sunlight
a spill like a waterfall between the blinds
and settle in my eyes.
I reach my hand, my foot, any body part will do,
to touch you and breathe you in.
It feeds my heart, my soul, my spirit,
and I am at peace.
I think of you at noon when the sun is at its highest
when the heat warms my skin
and causes my eyes to close with sheer pleasure.
Thoughts of you surround me, envelop me, and overpower me.
Images of you swirl around like a funnel cloud,
sucking all that it touches into its grasp,
and I am at peace.
I think of you when the sun is setting,
and its final light rays begin to fade.
I can hear your voice, deep, soft, and slow, in my head–
words of beauty, joy, friendship, and everlasting love.
My heart begins to sing a love song so sweet and so gentle.
I cannot wait to share my day with you and yours.
And I am at peace.
I think of you when the sun has set and the stillness of the moon
is displaying one of its many wondrous phases.
Thoughts of your smile, your laugh, and your eyes
create a feeling that is impossible to express with just words.
The need to touch, feel, and drink you in
is almost too much to hold inside.
Anticipation of you is the greatest gift.
I am at peace.
