Permanent Resident

Permanent resident

I think of ways 
To tell her how I feel
It’s been some days
Still got nothing real

Can’t find the words
It’s all in my heart
Try to say it loud
  But my lips don’t part

How do I tell her?
How I love her so
What do I say it to her? 
So she would know

She lives in my heart
A permanent resident
And she in my world 
 She is a president

She is the wind
The blows thru my hair
She is the air I breathe 
That has me standing here 

Oh Sorry I got 
So carried away
Let’s get back to 
The subject of today

That is how do I say? 
How much I love you
Keep trying to find the words 
But so hard to do

She’s like the sun 
Shines where ever she are
She’s  like the stars
That light on me from so far

She’s like the rain
That cools me when it’s hot
She’s like a knickerbockers glory
The hits the right spot

She lives in my heart 
A permanent resident 
She gives me hope 
With her distinctive accent

Oh Sorry I forget again 
And got carried away
Let’s get back to 
The subject of today

 How do I say I love her?
