My eyes tear
my head rushes
my heart pounds
my stomach leaps
my hands shake...

all because of you

your face
your smile
the light in your eyes
make me feel invincible

seeing you
makes me strong

knowing you're
always there
makes me feel
protected

you mean the wold to me
and you make me feel as
light and beautiful
as a butterfly
fluttering in the sky
on a warm summer's day

I love you
always.
