You Ought to Know……

I couldn't help myself
Falling for you
was easier than breathing
I didn't have to think about it
and it certainly wasn't hard work
All I had to do was be with you
Talk to you; listen
Touch you
The first time I saw your smile
and how it lights up your face
Sent a chill through my body
Your laugh vibrates along my spine
Waking nerve endings I never knew I had
Your passions awake responding passions
within myself
Your passion for life, family, God
Your passion for the everyday mundane
You see things through the eyes of a child
keeping them bright and new
and that is a rare gift
You show me how good the future can be
standing close against your side
I want that future
and I want you to know
That I love you
