"Forever"

Tick, tock
Tick, tock
Tock, tick, tock
The clock ticks slowly
The minutes pass like years
A slow countdown
To a moment of elation
Finally, finally
It becomes time
I look up and see her
My mouth agape
For her beauty astounds me
She is beyond my imagining
More beautiful than a rose
Her hair soft as a feather
Her eyes like stars

I stand, wavering
Unsure of my footing
Unsure of myself
Unworthy, unable
To be what she wants
To meet her needs
Able only to hope
To beg of the powers that be
That I might be able to
Please her enough
That she might not cast me away

She is my life
My love
It is she who holds my heart
My soul, my being
To her do I belong
Now and always

Would that she might know
Exactly what she
will always and forever
Mean to me
No words can express it
No sound, no motion
A feeling not of this world
Of Heaven
And she the angel

To her will I always
Devote all that I am
All that I do
For I love her
I love her always
And forever and ever
And never, ever
Shall I stop
I love her with all that I am
I am what I am
I love you my sweetheart
Forever
