ornament me in your praise
let me wear your love
as my jewelry,
clothe ourselves in a never ending
romance;
seven billion people in this world and
my heart is wrapped around you
can't get it to stop—
I know this is illogical but I've never
wanted anything rational,
and every time I look into your eyes
my heart skips a beat;
you and those beautiful eyes
let me be your sunrise and your sunset because
heaven knows you're my sky.
