My Love Is You (Dedicated to Eric)

My love is your bright green eyes, pouring into mine
The emerald sea of happiness, a color so devine
My love is our hands entwined, and your whispers in my ear
Telling me you love me and to never have a fear, you are here
My love is like that white flannel sheet
That we slept in, wrapping it around us, enveloping the heat
It used to be new, but now it’s worn, tattered and beat
From the moments we have had, oh, so very sweet
My love is like the sky
It’s endless and amazing, but by and by
Sometimes the clouds come to play and suffocate it
My love is your arms around my waist
A feeling that personally I have always chased
Warm and inviting, but strong and controlling
And your lips upon my neck, is also my love, you see
Boiling through my skin and melting what’s within me
My love is the trees above us as we lay here in the grass
Changing with time as the days come to pass
Beautiful and blossomed in the spring and summer
But bare and empty in the autumn and winter
Just like they lose their leaves I
Lose my hope and touch with a sigh
Sometimes it seems too much
My love is the raindrops across your skin
Blistering and saturating your heart, your soul, everything within
It is beyond my control
Everything is
My love is the time that we seem to never have
When we cling to each other like it’s all we have left
When we only have hours, seconds to spare
We give it all up because, at the time, we don’t care
My love is the guilt that we feel when we break
The promise we have made, to each other to take
We sealed it with a pinky, do you remember that?
It turned out to be so fake, in the end, we couldnt keep it true
Each time we broke it, we wanted to start over new
My love is that promise we so willingly broke
Over and over, so many things provoked

Now I see, when I look in your eyes
That you are my love, only in disguise
The fights we have been through, the moments we have dared
The hugs, the loving words, the kisses we have shared
Are all part of what my love is
And my love is you.
