Just for you

We have been together for what seems like a long time,
But all these years have been like a nursery rhyme.
I have always been true my love quick to express,
I never want this to end and feel the emptiness.

While you are away my love it grows,
How long we have left heaven knows.
We must make the most of our time together,
Enjoy what we have of this sunny weather,

At times we laugh at times we fight,
But in the end I love you with all my might.
Sometimes we cry sometimes we're apart,
But I love you darling with all my heart.

The times we have had the times that will come,
Were not times I would share with just anyone.
If I had my life over and had to choose,
I would do it again, you I don't want to lose.

At times I am quiet with not much to say,
Sometimes I am tired at the end of the day.
And I will say don't worry we will talk later,
So for you love I put my feelings on paper.

For I was born to love you right from the start,
With every single beat of my ever loving heart.
I was born to take care of you in any way I can,
Every single day of my life I want to be your man.
