When you close your eyes,

Do you think of me?

Is it me that you picture in your head?

Does my face invade your most private thoughts

and haunt your dreams,

like a shadow cast

upon a melting sunset?

Do you wish you could be with me

when I’m not within reaching distance?

Do you long to hold out your hand and touch me,

to make sure that I’m really where you are?

Can you feel my heart beating within your own?

Does the sound echo through your soul

like a thousand notes of a bass guitar,

played by the rocking angels?

Tell me, am I the one?

When I close my eyes,

I cannot help but think of you,

You’re an image that is carved into

my every thought.

Like the stitches of time,

your words have become woven into my memories,

that make yesterdays seem everlasting.

I want to be with you eternally

and hold you in my arms till the twelfth of never.

Your heart beats in tune with mine,

they beat as one, joined at the centre.

You are half of my whole, my reason and my answer.

Tell me, will you be the one?
