The lasting thoughts of the night

Not many things motivate me to get out of bed
Too many thoughts hang over my head
Now enters the vision of you
The only person I want to wake up to

I have to take better care of myself
So I can be with you, not cremated in a box on a shelf
Can't shake the thought of being 6 feet in the ground
Having you sad because I'm no longer around

I love you more than any poem can explain
More than any card can emotionally contain
I care about you more every day
In my heart I want you to stay

Rest your eyes beautiful and slowly go to sleep
As I continue to count sheep
Looking at the stars tonight
Hoping things continue to go right

I give my all and maybe too much
But I'm afraid to lose your care, love and touch
It's a risk I often take
Like walking on glass and hoping it won't break

So many memories I reminisce
Our first date and our first kiss
3 months is coming up soon
Like my birthday that is in June

My best three months ever
Are of you and me together
I don't want us to end
A forever after that's not just pretend

I value you more than gold
To love, cherish and hold
I'll never take you for granted my love
The only beautiful girl I want and dream of
