I see you there, leaving me With your quiet blue Eyes, so gentle and true Wilder than the night, with a shadow Reaching beyond my heart, To the very edges of my spirit, To the music in my veins, The silence in my marrow, The lingering of grace that sighs, Forever – just you and I… I see you there, clever as the moon Who chooses the night Over the remnants of beautiful hues In the afternoon, where roses bloom I see you there, stirred by hope Reassured and I know Wherever I go, there is the wind Who remembers your gentle, Your beauty edges in subtle hues Welcoming me, inviting me to know You are the story I want to write, The picture I want to paint, The reason I can honestly say… I see you there, a heart Made mellow by the music Who swells inside my throat, Always knowing, always showing There is a moment, Between me and you, When hearts are brought together Wings are alive, feathers Roused by the news that we are surely More than friends, more than lovers I see you there, once before I realized that you were the person I would long for, more than words Can express, more than thoughts Can declare, more than the song Can resonate with its radiant energy, Overflowing the memories I see you there, like the amen on a prayer The final say – the light of day The mystery and the fading whisper I see you there, so very rare These feelings, promised By the quiet nights, the soft dreams The believing in you and me – That moment when I became the truth, The one who loves – the one who loves you. I see you there, and I know I’ll always care Because it is this moment This day, this promise that we’ve made Becoming more than words can say, More than poetry can reveal, More than music or art or thought… I see you there and I know the answer To my life’s dancing, The wings beneath my heart The glitter in the stars I see you there and I struggle to explain What it means to love – love without pain Love that has nothing to gain Love that will forever sustain Love that is ours because we’re a part of something Bigger than our minds might have seen, Bigger than our hearts can reveal, Bigger than the night’s sky or moonlight Bigger than the summer or fall, Bigger than the broken in the dark I see you there, where I want to be Because it is with you That my heart needs – to breath I see you there and I discover me I love you, honey and I’ll always believe You are the heart that was meant for me!
