If I could carve my name on your heart
like your face is burned in my memory.
If I could join contentment and hardship
like you've wrapped your love around me.

Maybe I would know what to say
                            know what to feel
                            know what to do
to be worthy of you.

If I could make a difference somehow
like you've colored my life with your wonder.
If I could manage the circumstance that fights me
like you hold back the rain when you shine.

Maybe I would know when to breath
                            know when to rest
                            know when I grew
to be worthy of you.

Love is a mystery
sparing neither stranger nor friend
It overwhelms and compels
carrying you away to an unimagined place
It often leaves a stain time cannot erase.

If I could live a life so pure
like you've often heard the sages tell.
If I could linger in each moment
like you'll always been a part of me.

Maybe I'd believe in myself
                   believe what I see
                   believe it's all true
and be worthy of you.

From reading your adoring words, I'd wager that you ARE worthy of her!

These are the lines I liked best
At the first of the poem when you intertwined a longer and a shorter repetive stanza.  I thought that was the best section of the piece.  It made for an incredible rthymn.
