“This Is What I Think About”

Is there a way to tell you?

Exactly how I feel when I talk to you?

Can I express enough?

The excitement that courses through me?

Whenever I say your name

Whenever I see your face

Anytime you talk to me

My heart swells with joys unknown

I feel as if I have grown

As if a hole somewhere has been filled

A new part of my life has been discovered

And all I can say is “Wow.”

White-water rapids was my life before you

And now there’s a new turn to maneuver

From now on I hope the only rapids I endure

Will be the beating of my heart with yours

Something new to both of us is beginning

Stronger than either has felt before

Our hearts in tune, our minds connected

And our fingers on the keys cannot move fast enough

In the end, all we can do is hope

Hope that our paths will not only cross, but join

Hope that our future will be as happy as the present

Hope that the love we feel now will grow stronger each day

There is no way to tell if our futures lie together

The best way to know is to live

Through life, we shall get all out answers

Through life, we shall receive our rewards

I may not believe in the afterlife that is heaven or hell

But I do believe that what you make of life

What you do with the time you have here, alive

Becomes your own personal consequence

The memories

The regrets

And the pride

This is your reward

The kind of things we talk about together

The kind of things we think about apart

This all rolls around my head

What do you think about?
