I don't wish for you to think otherwise,
Don't believe the hype, don't believe the lies.
I'm here for you and only you,
And will continue to be here, no matter what you do.

Smile for me and let me see the sparkle in your eyes,
Let me see the beauty of the blue summer skies.
Laugh for me;no matter how loud, no matter how wild,
And within, let me hear the cry of every newborn child.

Come....kiss me--Let me feel the warmth inside you,
Allow our love to grow as it once grew.
Come....embrace me--Let me feel your hearts beat against mine,
Allow their rhythms to syncronize, to forevermore intertwine.
Let us travel into this fantasyland, this dreamworld so sublime.

Can you feel our love growing inside,
Knowing our hearts can no longer hide.
The rivers of passion have, once again, overflowed,
And the vines of bitterness have grown withered and old.

So don't think otherwise,
Forget the apologies, forget the goodbyes.
The choices in life are there for a reason,
Just as is summer, winter and every other season.

My love for you will never again, unwind,
It will be here growing;reinforced by time.
Can you hear my soul inviting you to join it,
My heart whispering, reaching for you to claim it.

Reassurance and confidence can only grow from what I've told you,
Your successes and failures only a result of what you do.
Regardless of the end, just remember, "There are never goodbyes!".

So I don't wish you to think otherwise,
Don't believe the hype, don't believe the lies.
I'm here for you and only you,
And will continue to be here, no matter what you do.

Oh Mark....I can feel the yearning of your heart in this one....it is very sincerely written!  I hope whoever the lucky lady is, she reads this and knows how deep your love flows for her....If she doesn't see it, she is blind!  Fabulous show of a lover's yearning beckon....
