Can I even tell you how much I adore you?
I mostly can’t, because the words just won’t come.
I’m overdone, I adore the sight of you.
Every minute away, my thoughts don’t take
Me anywhere but your smiling face.
And I love you for loving me, all the same.
With all my flaws out there for you to see,
For you to feel, and you don’t back away.
I act stupid and silly, and downright mean.
And yet you are still there, like it’s all still clean.

I tell you how I want to be with you every day,
And I know you still back away, with your hurt from the past,
And your heart still wounded from those times gone away.
Times I wasn’t there, and can’t help, but I want you to know
I won’t be that way.

I do adore you so much, the times we laugh and cry,
The times we listen to music, and laugh, and you dip
Me back in your arms, like the old movie stars do.
And I think, this is all I ever wanted, all I ever saw,
It’s in you.

I don’t know why, or how, you came my way.
You were like a dream promised, then brought to life,
When I thought that never could be.
How much I adore you, I don’t know if I can,
Ever make you see.

I look at your profile in the blue light of night,
You watching some old movie while I half-slumber, twilight,
And think I’ve known you, as I have others, long before.
And think myself so lucky I arrived at your door.

I think of so many times with you, so overfilled with joy,
Like watching ‘Ray’ and your saying to me.
We should have watched it in the back seats,
Making out.

Do you know how much I adore you?
In those words of Ray, “I’m a fool for you”

You in your black wool coat,
You in all your crazy youthful days,
You in your grey eyes gleaming gleefully,
You in all your soulful you.
I so love you.

You are the brightest gleaming star
In my universe, black as it may be.
I see your face, you star shining up there.
If you may cease to be, I will go on.
But my presence will surely be so lonely,
And baby,
I’ll be ‘drowning in my own tears’
-love you
