My Everything I look back on days departed Days before I knew a gentleman ever existed When a warm-hearted man expresses overwhelming emotions Emotions of longing for another Willing to give his all to me Surrounding me with Love I think of days when I held my whole heart Guarding myself from emotional pain Fending my Love from being torn Securing my spirit from suffering It was then that I felt strong When power was in my hands And vulnerability was unfamiliar to my soul I felt a sense of direction Knowing where I was headed When hormones didn't take control of me Turning me around in confusion When my mind was set on moving ahead Through my journey of life I remember when boys didn't make me weak at the knees Twiddling my fingers in nervousness Shredding napkins into nothingness When fear and anxiety didn't mix into one feeling Causing queasiness from knots and butterflies in my stomach These are things only a gentleman can cause me to do I reflect on my once completeness Before I fell for this man When I was unaware of his presence Before I unconsciously drew him into my heart Gradually allowed him into my mind Let him deepen into my thoughts This gentleman opened doors to once imprisoned heart Barbed with wire, protected from harm I opened my eyes and stared into truth Stared into eyes of meaning Encouraging me to have faith Faith in letting him behold my trust Possess my Love Allowing him to become a part of me Those days departed A faded memory slowly slipping my mind A thought of wholeness splitting in two Where half my heart belongs to him Half my heart belongs to the gentleman This gentleman Opening doors Awakening eyes Intensifying thoughts He is the happiness in my so-called misery The second thought in my final decision Where I'm choosing to be joined with him rather than stand alone He is other piece in my puzzle Causing integrity within me Fulfilling my emptiness Without this man I'm broken My heart is only partial My mind, distant He is who completes my soul Makes me one This gentleman is My Everything. |
