When each daytime moment's a memory of you,
And at night I wish dreams could be real;
When the sum of my thoughts adds up only to you,
And your touch on my skin I can feel.
When I play the same love songs again and again,
And I cry when they're happy or sad,
Then I know that my heart is meant only for you,
And the love that I know we once had.
For my love goes on and on,
And the ache in my heart is deep,
And the tears in my eyes never seem to run dry
But leave salt in my hair as I sleep.
When no other man can hold interest for me,
And each pales when compared to you,
Then I know that forever you'll be in my heart,
And my love be continually true.

Country-style song I wrote this summer.

It is beautiful, my lovely friend. Beautiful. Any man privileged enough to have your love and affection is a lucky chap indeed. And he best treat you as you deserve. I look forward to hearing this on the radio some day.
Beautiful, sad and, as always, moving.

You are so kind to me when you're hurting so much...
This was a one-time emotional experience, so I just let it run over into lyrics instead of trying to make it be good poetry. I have periods of time when I write mostly songs, and periods when I write mostly poetry, and this was during one of the former.
