By Dyce

I see you with your eyes alight,

Your hair of copper flaming bright,

Skin soft and pale as glowing pearl,

My happy-ever-after girl.

I live for you,

My love is yours,

I would give my life for you,

And all I'll ever be is yours.

For as long as I remember,

I've known that we were meant to be

Our love was written in the stars,

To show just what you are to me.

In the moment that I saw you,

My fate was sealed, carved in stone,

An unexpected thunderbolt.

How, before it, could I have known?

I've lived for you,

My love's been yours,

I would give my life for you,

And all I'll ever be is yours.

You died - I prayed my heart would stop,

You lived - I thought to die of joy.

You died - I wished I could forget

You lived - and held my baby boy.

In future, past, or present tense,

We've been as one, and had no need,

For any other but ourselves,

And of no other taken heed.

I'll live for you,

My love is yours,

I will give my life for you,

And all I'll ever be is yours.

For one another we have lived,

All else taking second place,

I know it to be true, my love,

I see it in our child's face.

The Dream might perhaps, in part

Surpass our love in mortal form,

But only by our choosing and

Our love may not, of it, take harm

I live for you,

And you for me,

Our lives are bound, forever true,

And are for all eternity.

I see you with your eyes alight,

The flames about you glowing bright,

The heavens sparkle in your hair,

And good or ill, my heart is there.

You are my life, my love, my cause,

All I can ever be is yours.

I will never let go of you,

I couldn't... if I wanted to.

End
