To the Love of My Life

My pulse quickens
I can't see 
I can't breathe
My eyesight is blurry
The only thing that's clear is the sound of my own heartbeat
You've captured me
Taken my breath away
Yes, you've captured me
You captured me at first glance
Made me shiver at the first touch
Opened my mind to new possibilities
God knows I love you so much
You speak and my body twitches, my soul sings
A simple "I love you" makes my heart flutter like butterfly wings
I am your prisoner
You owe me nothing, I owe you everything
The man who made me love again is now my sweet African King
Kisses as soft as rose petals, seem like their heaven sent
I asked God for an angel and he knew exactly what I meant
Kiss me again sweetheart, kiss me until you reach my soul
And when this task is done
Watch my love unfold
Promise me you won't leave, 
promise me you won't go 
If I ever insist on leaving
Look me in the eyes and tell me no
For if I am ever without you
Its sure to be my downfall
And if I can't have the one I love
Then I would rather not love at all

                                               -Lyric-
