I Keep You In My Heart
I Keep You in My Heart
By Rick Rucker
While we must, for now, live apart,
I keep you first in my Heart,
You have wrought a miraculous change in me,
It is there for the World to see,
Before we met, I was morose,
Some might even say bellicose,
You have let me see the Sun,
When I’m with you, I have only fun!
I often find myself singing,
Frequently hear distant bells ringing,
As we part, you think I say “Adieu,”
But I am just practicing to say “I do!”
Your Love has let me see the Light,
Your memory gets me through the lonely night,
The next time that we meet,
Before I can kiss you, my sweet,
That familiar burning sensation will start,
The Heavenly fire that warms my Heart!
I see you now, you walk with grace,
As you near, a smile spreads across your face,
Inches left before I can touch,
The woman that I love so much,
That final step seems to take forever,
Soon, we will live together, then I will leave you never,
For now, I will take any time that we can have,
It is, for my wounded Heart, a salve!
From me, my problems, you do lift,
Perhaps that is your greatest gift,
To let me see the beauty of this life,
Why I have asked you to be my wife,
Before we met, I crawled around in the muck,
I met you by the most Blessed stroke of luck,
My wretched life, you did transform,
Now I want that to be the norm,
I wish to live always in your presence,
Drinking ever of your Essence!
Do not attempt to trifle with Fate,
Please live with me, and be my Mate!
