Unfurled

When you close your eyes, tell me, what do you see?
Because when I close my eyes, I see you and me.
I feel you in my heart, I hear you in every song,
The only thing that’s on my mind is you; all day long.
Like the sun and the stars we match each other…After seeing your face, I see no other.
Your amazing and beautiful, inside and out
After meeting you I don’t know how I could do without
So please don’t ever leave my side, and don’t let your heart hide
Because you and me, we are spiritually bound
So don’t ever let me forget
What I have found
You are the beauty in my world
And after being broken for so long
My heart, like a beautiful flower,
Has finally
Unfurled.
