For You, My Love

I wished for time to slow down its pace
For days to linger, not to race
Tell me where the fault may lie
When all I want is your love nearby?

I get lost in memories of you and me
Reliving moments the time let be
Swept away like leaves on the breeze
Leaving a knot in my heart that never frees

For you, my love, just you
Every word still whispers your name through
For you, my love, just you
Even in silence, my heart is askew

Today the days rush by like thunder
And I drown in verses of lonely wonder
I scream on paper, but do you see?
Do my words reach you or fade aimlessly?

I get lost in memories of you and me
Reliving moments the time let be
Swept away like leaves on the breeze
Leaving a knot in my heart that never frees

For you, my love, just you
Every word still whispers your name through
For you, my love, just you
Even in silence, my heart is askew

Is asking time to pause too much?
Is it dreaming of something out of touch?
If all I desire is you to stay
Forever in my heart, every day

For you, my love, just you
Every word still whispers your name through
For you, my love, just you
Even in silence, my heart is askew
