If You Ever Need Me

My Love…
Even though you are far away in miles and time, you are always with me. Long ago my loving you became as natural as my heart beating. I couldn’t change that if I wanted to… and I don’t want to.

“If You Ever Need Me” by poet, writer and singer Becky Williams
tumblr_m9xvmxLuXC1r60a71o1_1280EDITIf ever you need me,
I’ll be right here,
To chase away the sadness,
And wipe away a tear.
If ever you need me,
I’ll be two steps behind,
To follow in your footsteps,
And hear what’s on your mind.
If ever you need me,
You’ll never have to fear,
That your presence isn’t important,
And your love isn’t dear.
If ever you need me,
I’ll always be around,
To bring back the laughter,
Where deep in your heart it’s found.
You’ll never have to worry,
For I’ll always be here,
To chase away the sadness,
And wipe away a tear.

Thank You for Saving Me

My Love…
I always thought love was somewhere between a diversion and a sport before I met you. Then I learned how a man who has been the most resistant to love, falls the hardest. I was insanely lost before. Thank you for saving me.

No Contender Since

My Love…
You left me long ago. My mistakes were too big for you to forget. It’s been years since I held you or we kissed, but I cherish you as the love of my lifetime. There has been no contender since, nor do I believe there will ever be.

Madly, Deeply and for Always

My Love…
I am constantly touched by the depth of feeling you show me. Your kind way and tender manner is the sweetest affection I have ever known. I love you madly, deeply and for always.

Beyond Mine to Give

My Love…
Was it chance that brought us together, or divine intervention? Were we preordained to meet? Was our fate written in destiny’s book? Such answers are beyond me, but I know I love you with my whole being.

Sought After and Rare

Love…
…needs two. No matter how deeply one person feels about another, it is for naught unless the sentiments are returned in kind. Unrequited love is the all too common state that makes true love so sought after and rare.

I’ll Wait…

Love…
…gives me patient strength. I know you have things to work through and commitments to keep. No matter; I’ll keep waiting for you, hoping for ‘some day’. I have no choice. I’m so in love with you my heart will allow nothing else.

Through My Eyes

Love…
…causes me to see you as I have never seen anyone else. I see your imperfections, yet know you are perfect for me. As they are now and always have been since we were children, my feelings will never change.

Not Something We Give or Get

Love…
…is enduring and durable. When two people are meant for each other; no time is too long; no distance too far; no obstacle too difficult; no pain too great. For you, I would endure anything.

American author, public speaker and research professor Brene Brown

Never As Deeply

Love…
…separated by years, is still the same love. Though we were long ago parted, there is a place in my heart no one else will ever touch. I have loved since and may love yet again, but never as deeply as I love you.
