The Sweetest Thing

I read a lot of words, and I see a lot of faces..
they drift into my life, and fill  many empty spaces..

I hear the words "I love you" said so easily..
Yet I already know,  they dont really feel that for me.

A sea of souls, fighting to be seen above the crowd.
Most stay awhile to know me, occasionally one stands out..

I see a picture looking back at me,
Sometimes I wonder, what do they see...

You drifted in, and I thought I saw something more...
Someone special, with  a real mind and heart to explore..

I dared to believe in those soft, kind eyes..
To see a real  person, who tells no lies...

All I wanted was to share some of your time and space..
In a perfect world, in a perfect place..
.
But for now, just being your friend gives my heart a smile,
and for that, my love, I'd walk for days and for miles...

For this is all I can ask for, this feeling that you bring,
If that is all I ever have, it is the sweetest thing
