I'm your angel

by Elizabeth

Late at night I think of you and wonder about what you do
Wonder if you know how I feel and if you know that I care about you.
And as these thoughts come to my mind in the moonlight’s gentle glow
I realize there are a lot of things that you can’t see and just don’t know.
What do you think I see you as? I love you for who you are
I love you when you act like a jerk and when you’re a shining star.
Much as you have hurt me and once or twice even made me cry
I don’t have it in me to hate you and that’s something I don’t want to try.
I’m sorry you are hurting and I’m sorry you’re in pain
But life isn’t always sunshine—there has to be some rain.
And sometimes when there comes a storm it takes a lot away
The things you get so used to are suddenly gone one day.
I can be the sunshine in your life if you could only see
That someone truly loves you and that someone is me.
This love I have is so powerful, and you don’t even realize.
And if you ever doubt my words, just look deep into my eyes.
You’ll see a light inside of them that shines so strong and true
That doesn’t flicker or fade away because it shines for you.
And if you ever need my love I won’t hesitate to show it
You’ll find it right in front of you—I’m your angel, you just don’t know it. …
