As I lie here and watch you sleeping.. I can't help but crack a smile...
I feel the peace upon your face.. knowing all the while,
This is where I want to be.. with you always by my side...
Because your the reason I carry on.. my purpose and my pride,
They say that life's a circle.. but mines an uphill shot...
With winding roads.. and pain untold.. and battles yet un-fought,
If your love is my reward.. for the scars that I have earned...
Then I can walk through any fire.. and I cannot be burned,
You are my light.. you are my strength.. your a gift from "God" above...
And if ever there was a "ment to be".. you are my "one true love".

The sun is getting lower, as it streaks across the sky...
And the nights keep getting longer, without you by my side,
I don't know just what to do, that would turn it all around...
For everything I thought I knew, has now become unwound,
Your act is so indifferent, I'm not sure just who you are...
I used to think that we were close, but now you seem so far,
Just how is it ok, to hurt the one you love...
To not stand up for what is right, when you should rise above,
To never say you're sorry, or admit that you were wrong...
To let the ones who love you most, suffer all alone,
And what's the price we'll have to pay when the walls come tumbling down...
As you burn the bridges that we build and any love we found,
Is it pride or is it anger, that has a hold on you...
And keeps you bound to fear and hate, in everything you do,
I've been waiting for the light within you, to awaken in your heart...
To bring to life, and back to me, what's been torn apart,
I pray our love is strong enough, and that you'll finally see...
True love can heal anything, and bring back what used to be.
steve, 28 june 2019
How do I bring you back.. to where we used to be...
To show whats in my heart.. and what you mean to me,
How do I heal the damage.. from angered words we say..
When the only thing that matters.. is wanting you to stay,
How do I give to you.. the love you need so bad...
When I'm not sure just how to give..what I've never had,
How do I say goodbye.. when my heart will not let go...
And the words I speak all fail me.. when my heart I try to show,
How do I live without you.. when without you I can't live...
And to hold you in my arms once more.. this life I'd gladly give.
steve, 28 june 2019
If I was given just one wish.. to turn my life around...
My wish would be, for you and me.. to keep what we have found,
I've many regrets and sorrows.. and paid too high a cost...
I've laughed.. I've cried.. I've run to hide.. for mistakes, and loved ones lost,
But then you walked into my life..and now the skies are blue...
It seems at last.. the rain has past.. and everything is new,
I feel that "God" has smiled at me.. for enduring all the rain...
And given me someone to love.. someone who'll ease the pain,
If I was given just "one wish"..... to turn my life around...
I'd give it back.. for what I lack.. in you these things I've found.
steve, 25 june 2019
Its when your not around.. that makes me realize...
All the things I tell myself.. are nothing more than lies,
I'll say that I don't need you.. pretending that's it's true...
But when you're gone.. and it's just me.. all I want is you,
I'll tell myself.. don't fall in love.. for love will never last...
But I know too well.. to save my heart.. the time has long since past,
I thought at last.. when I found love.. how perfect it would be...
Everything would fall in place.. and we'd never disagree,
But "perfect is a fairytale".. life is what is real...
Happy.. sad .. content..or mad.. this is what we feel,
I guess I should surrender.. I could never walk away...
For if never there was darkness.. there could never be a day,
I will always love you... and we'll always disagree...
So I will learn to look beyond.. to just the love I see.
steve, 25 june 2019
The sun came up again today.. and though you're still not here...
I can't see a reason why... that I should shed a tear,
But I wipe my eyes.. and I go on.. to face another day...
While the shadows of your memory.. in my head begin to play,
After all the years.. after all the times.. after all that, we've been through...
How could you "turn and walk away"... while I'm still in love with you,
What more to life.. is there than love... though some shall never know...
But I can barely breathe at all.. for my heart will not let go,
What words to say to touch your heart.. and bring you back to me...
To show you all the love we had... and what it still can be,
If just once... I could turn back time.. to the day when we first met...
For one more chance to get it right.. and live without regret.
steve, 25 june 2019
I've tried so hard to get along.. but all we do is fight...
And the tears I cry may fall like rain... but I'm alone again tonight,
Goodbye would be so easy.. if I wern't in love with you,
One step forward, and two steps back.. have never been so true...
It breaks my heart.. that we found love.. but were going down in flames...
For even love can't save us now.. as we play our little games,
I thought that we could make it.. that love could conquer all...
As I'm hanging on for life.. from this long and lonely fall,
And though my heart is bleeding.. I just can't say goodbye...
My love for you won't let me go.. I think I'd rather die,
Together we could have it all.. why can't I make you see...
That all that you've been searching for.. is here inside of me.
steve, 25 june 2019
My mind wanders.. with thoughts of you.. I'm so grateful for your love...
And just why on earth.. of all the hearts.. its mine you hold above,
I can't think of anything.. to deserve someone like you...
For anything, is what I'd give.. to have you love me too,
I shouldn't tell you.. how I feel.. when I look into your eyes...
Or just how high it takes me.. you chose me of all the guys,
And I won't say, how warm it feels.. to hear you say my name...
Or though we've kissed a thousand times.. its never quite the same,
Or even that my blood still boils.. long after your lingering touch...
While pretending "I don't give a dam".. when your love I need so much,
Should I hide the fact.. that just your kiss.. sets my soul on fire?
And never mention.. the ragging battle.. of my uncontrolled desire,
If I told you how I really felt.. would it change the way you feel?
Would you look at me the way you do.. and say you love me still,
Or do I let the fires burn.. and the chips fall where they may...
For "heaven's on earth".. right here.. with you.. and its where I want to stay.
steve, 25 june 2019
The first thing that I noticed.. when I laid eyes on you..
Was your beauty and how it emanates.. in everything you do,
Something "more than just hello".. drew me when we met..
I looked into your chocolate eyes.. and broke into a sweat,
With cinnamon skin so beautiful.. my senses began to spark..
Setting off a fire inside.. that raged well into dark,
I couldn't stop thinking about you.. or get you out of my head..
So I rewound every moment.. and replayed what was said,
I wanted to be with you.. to know just who you are..
To hear the story that you live.. and how you came this far,
Everything about you.. from your head down to your toes..
Was everything I needed.. but I couldn't let you know,
I know that I can't keep you.. and I know that it won't last..
But I'll always have the memories.. to relive a time that's passed.
steve, 30 may 2019
Though you'll soon be leaving... I won't let it break my heart...
For there were things between us... that kept us far apart,
I'll cherish what we shared.. when we put those things aside...
And the chasm that's between us... didn't seem so wide,
There were times when I loved you.. and times you made me mad...
But most times I was grateful.. for all the times we had,
And when you fly away... like a bird upon the wind...
I'll keep the memories close to heart.. and always call you friend.
