'giving thanks to you'

whenever i see you, i want to feel you.
whenever you ache, i want to heal you.
& whenever you're alone and down, i want to steal you.
i want to take you away from bad company,
lose all my chips to you in hold em',
hold hands throughout a movie,
and harmonize to your voice in a sweet melody.
because time erases precious moments all too quickly
and to go through a moment without sharing that moment with you
would leave me suffocating and sickly
I can't stop time and spend a single moment,
alone with you forever.
and i know it's selfish and greedy to even imagine such a wish,
and so i realize i'd be trapping us in my own form of watered down display
as would be owning a goldfish
but why restrict my love to the limitness of an aquarium?
when my love exceeds the limitless waters of the pacific, atlantic and indian oceans,
yet the volume of every body of water combined from this divine planet
still could not match the amount of love and devotion my soul would flow for you.
and thus with you, i'll stay true
truer than the true blue hue of the oceans and clear sky
truer than tears wept out of pain for loved ones passed away, from a heartachy cry
as true as the most truthful honesty shining through gentle strength and sound wisdom
and more true than the true colors of a rainbow deflected from white light through a prism
with you i'll stay true, not because
i approach you and i cautiously,
not because this is how love ought to be, nor because we're on display for all to see
but i'll stay true because i love you through our bond together,
that emits a love light shining uncommonly
i'd spend my whole life through,
just giving thanks to you.
thanks because in this unmapped road of dead ends and loops
you send me on the right path,
in the search to make me whole, you're my missing other half
i love to hear you giggle and i love it when you make me laugh and
i love tandemly reminiscing on a sigh
thanks because you've gifted me vision to see you as more than a woman,
and you to me as just another guy
thanks for showing me the beauty and possibilities beyond glamour
and simply opening your private, secret world to share with one
as undeserving as me
thank you for giving me a chance to share a dance,
to possibly submit myself to romance
and thank you,
in advance,
for any future joys your words, actions and touch echo and produce
like some galactic tribal chant
in my position i'll walk towards the sea from river banks because
the thought of your memory is simply the greatest tiding
and it's exciting
privately hoping for just one another chance to reach the end of the horizon
because with you,
the impossible isn't surprising, just a possibility worth trying,
and the instances i share with you
shine eternally timeless like the perfect diamond.
