Everything

Everything you say to me
Every bit of kindness you've shown me
It all means so much

I know I love you more than anything
I just want to be able to prove it to you somehow
Saying "I love you" isn't enough for me

To me...
It's too simple a phrase to describe
Everything you've done for me
And everything you still do for me

I just want to hold you
Stay there in your arms
Protect you from all the pain you feel...

I want to kiss you when you're down
To try and bring you up again

I want to stay beside you
Listen to the quiet beating of your heart
Hear your gentle words as you whisper in my ear

I want to feel your hand in mine
Hold on tightly so I know it's not a dream
Then smile up at you
When I realize it's real

I want to gaze up at the stars with you
Huddle close to you for the warmth emanating from your soul

I want to hug you and never let go
So you can feel me
And know that I care

But most of all..
I want you to know
That you mean everything to me
