I've never yet hugged you
I've never yet kissed you
I never yet held your hand
but still I think of you
and dare to say I miss you
more and more....
as beaches are gradually built
from grains of sand

life is short
and oft more shallow
than deep
and many things seem cheap
but off my feet you do sweep
I've fallen with one great leap
and caress you as you sleep
I hope to be yours oneday to keep

you are all woman to me
down to earth and serene
gentleness with eyes that beam
of your kind heart I dream
and daily you build my self-esteem

(We meet angels now and then in life
but they slip through our grasp
while in their company, in awe we gasp
we regret what we never said or asked)

in my sadness of many years
I lost count of my tears
so many I cried I thought my heart died
and I almost checked out, I once tried

But I stayed it seems now, just for today
to send love to a special woman far away
whose company made everything seem OK
and brought sunny skies to replace my grey
as comfort, serenity and care you brought my way

It was your sadness
which you bravely hid but I saw and felt
I imagined that by your side I knelt
and kissed each tear that from your eyes did melt

And then inside I did realize
love came upon me by surprise
and I felt more humble than wise
and felt the stars appear in my eyes

I had no idea of how or why
I missed your so much I cried
and waited so long here but you never came by
In my sadness I thought you were saying goodbye
for you, my best I would always try

Love came most suddenly
and unexpectly
most gently and assuredly
like caring wrapped in purity
you touch we with your graciousnes
and your soft way inspires security

And so I realized Love had come
from inside of the sad heart undone
My own, my very one
A heart with nowhere left turn or run

So whatever the result of it
To you my heart I do commit
I only hope you can see fit
to find joy in what I'm about to admit

Ana...The I do love

Its your heart and gentle soul that I belove
You are softness to me, as a dove
I feel certain you were sent to me from one above
Please take a chance with me my love

I am a man stripped of all earthly things
No fancy cars or diamond rings
only love do I have to bring
and this song for you my heart does sing

All I have is a heart
I held it closely but for you
it jumped in my chest from the very start
and now it beats for you and will not part

In time you'll have my hands to hold in yours
my eyes to glisten as to you I listen
each moment now it's you I'm missing
dreaming of hugs sincere and passionate kissing

Hold me closely for now
Teach me to love, tell me how
unlock your heart I hope you allow
until my gentle kiss is felt upon your brow

And in my dreams now we find ourselves together
in any condition, in fair or stormy weather
forever might walk hand in hand in the heather
I recall the storm the day we first met
with you I would never mind getting wet
this moment love arrived...I will never forget
