My Feelings Exist Beyond This Paper

If after all of this time
you knew how much I cared
you'll know I'll always want to love you and I'll always want to be there.

When you're sick
when you're upset
and you don't know why
when you think the stars will burn
and fall from the sky.

I want to be with you so badly
I can't take it anymore
I just want to run to your house
and knock on the door.

I want you to answer
and let me in
and take me to your room
to have this conversation

I want to sit on the floor with you
and be able to cry
and have you hold my hand
and tell me everything's all right.

I want to open up to you
and I want you to do the same
I want to laugh and have fun with you and have your picture in a frame

And when my friends come over
and ask me who that is
all I want is for them to look at me
and know that you're him

You're the only one
that brings the smile
upon my face
we don't even have to
speak to each other
or be in the same place.

Because just the thought of you brightens my day
and instantly the colors of fall
blend with the smell of a summer rain

It takes someone incredible
to bring two different things together
and when that happens
you know that someone is amazing
and unforgettable.

That is what you are to me
so special and loved
and hopefully we have
the blessing of our Lord above

I'm ready for your emotions
and your tears as they may come
I'll catch them
keep them and fix your heart
with my love

All I want to do
is take away your pain
physical, emotional
it's really all the same

Because pain is pain
and it's hurting you
I want to be the one
who knows exactly what to do.

Because matters of the heart
is a game I'm willing to lose
as long as you're still there in the end
so I can lean on you

Let me hold your hand
let me see you cry
let me call you and let me
fall asleep with you in my mind

To be close to you
is not a luxury
but a privilege
one that I want
even when this poem is finished.

I love you and your love
is all I want in return
maybe I will get it
when my love is what you've learned.

Because my feelings for you
are beyond the words on this paper
they go back to when we first met
and are to be continued later.
