'If You Asked Me...'

If you asked me what I liked about you the list would be innumerable:
You spark the light that contains my laughter
and lift my spirit with impeccable ease
You tease my senses beyond their inhibitions
and engage my mind in pursuit of happiness
You speak your mind as clearly as my own
echoing the inner voices of my internal sanctuary
You speak of dreams destined for reality
yet paint reality as if it were a dream
Your mind is like a continuous flow of light and sound and energy
bounding through the corridors of my battle-scarred heart
Each day you pave the way for the sunshine in my life
to glow brighter and brighter...and brighter...still brighter
You see through all the shadows and mists of my soul
left hurting...left waiting...waiting to be healed
And gently so gently you brushed away tears from its dampened cheek

If you asked me how I felt about you, words would cease to exist:
I want to spend my life with you,
Explore the possibilities of a life with you
Reach out for the reality of my life with you
I want to see your smile, hear your laugh
and know that I'm the cause
I want to feel your arms enfold me, holding me, anchoring me
secure in the knowledge that they are there for me
I want to see your mind at work; to help fit the pieces of the puzzles together
To explore the intricate networks and gateways and paradigms
that constitute your mind and know that this exploration would be welcomed
I want to build a life with you, grow old while shamelessly teasing you
Content to know that true love and happiness are not a myth but a reality that does exist
I want to love you completely, whole heartedly, unconditionally
knowing you felt the exact same way.
I want to wake up at earth's first dawn and fall asleep at life's first dusk forever always in your arms

If you asked me what I wanted at this very moment
my answer would be a smile, slow in coming but bright with intensity

If you asked me what I wanted at this very second
my answer would be the slight increase in the beating of my heart

If you asked me what I wanted...right here....right now
my answer...my only answer....would be

Only You"
