Love Poem: Behind You

Behind You

All around my emotions flow
 To pain, sadness or the end
 Their shining lights stay aglow
 To make you smile again 

 I’ll laugh to keep you going
 While I cry for you inside 
 I’ll be here if you need me
 I’ll stand right by your side 

 With haste my fantasies run
 To darkness, folly or a sin
 Their burning fires light the Sun
 With a strength I can’t comprehend
 
 I’ll close my eyes and forget reality
 I’ll dream for you, of summer days 
 I’ll sleep awhile, a little longer 
 And I’ll keep the Sun ablaze
 
 With trust I give you my heart 
 May it be broken, twisted or bent
 I’ll be behind you from the start
 And right to the very end 

 I’ll smile to keep you happy
 I’ll dream for you each night 
 I’ll wish on every star I see
 And I’ll pray you’ll be all right
 I’ll love so you don't need to
 I’ll let you choose the rules
 You treat it like the game it should be
 And I’ll hope you never lose
