… And Then There Is You

I thought and really seemed now to have figured it all.

The good, the bad, the ugly; did previous love stall

Maybe my brand of love, just wasn’t ever real afterall

A break and change of place could help me make  better calls.

And there was you

With all your brightness, your sweetness

And then there was you

With charm unarming, unsettling

And then there was you.

Your being, your warmness, your presence

And then there was you

A friend, a lover, my cover.

I try to find a thousand ways to show you I care

To tell you what you mean to me, to show what I’ll share

I’ll try to keep you safe from harm, and fight all those who’ll dare

To bring more pain to one so fair, who’s seen her fair share.

But then there is you

With all your prowess, your braveness

And then there is you

Through much attrition, opposition

And yet there is you

With hope eternal, joy external

And still there is you

With such compassion; lively passion.

Its real to have you

My very own girl, my head swirls!

Its nice to have you

For stimulation, inspiration

I’m glad there is you

To light my fire, raise my desire.

I hope to have you

My love-brand mirrored, and recovered.

There are many girls, for a thousand miles

...And then, there is YOU.
