Love Poem: Truth

Truth

In every passing moment I wish to be close to you, to hold you.
Loving you is easy when the skies are gray or when they’re blue.
Over the thunder and the rain I hear you sleep sweet dreams of a happy day.
Varying in cycles like the moon, may my love never be and let no one take it away.
Even if you cry I will be there for you to soothe and comfort you through your pain.
Your strength is in your concern for what is good and I’ve yet to see it wane.
Open is my heart to you with arms to follow.
Uniquely perfect is how I see you, please do not think my words as hollow

Every night I pray for you to sleep safe and sound
My wish is for your love but I meekly ask you keep me around.
If my words let you know how much I love you, they fail to compare to what I know in my heart
Let our love for each other grow anew each day with the experiences we gain when together or 
apart.
Yearning for you is not enough to satisfy my greediness, I long to touch and feel your soft skin
But do not think of us in lust rather a love which makes sheepish boys grin 
United with each other I always hope to be.
Running my fingers through your hair makes see 
Nothing in this world compares used or new
Simply put…I love you
