“Is This What Love Feels Like?

“All alone you walk,
under a moon of heavy blue,
All alone you dance,
your dress of golden tulle.

Through fields and valleys and trees reaching Heaven,
I watch you and,
In my eyes, you’re free,
never feel lonely.
In my thoughts, you’re fine,
in my thoughts you’re mine.

You call on me one morning,
spilling words of salty rain.
I only see you soaring,
I never see your pain.

And I say:
All that I can do,
Is say I’ll be here with you.
All that I can do,
Is be right here with you.

And that is what I will do, what I will do for now and always,
I’ll hold you through the soaring and the falling and the every little stumble.
I’ll tell you that I love you with my voice and with my arms.
I’ll show you that I love you with every single part of me.

And I will convince you…
That your presence is so wanted,
like sunshine, good wine, and tomatoes in the summertime,
that whoever you are,
now and always,
every part of you:

I will want you.
I will want everything that means.
I will want you,
I will want everything that means.

So whenever you get lonely,
come on over here.
And if for every time you’re feeling fine, you feel grumpy too?
Just tell me what you want or need,
and feel free to change your mind.
I’ll get for you,
whatever it is,
with a smile on my face.
With the thought of one on you.
With the thought of one on you.”
― R. A. Neddow
