Loving You Into My Life
I have always loved you
Even when I looked for you
In childhood games
In books at school
In the reverie of my thoughts
You were present like the glint of sun off a glass
Like the smell of Jasmine in the gust of a night breeze
And when my heart hurt
Trying to find you in a Summer romance,
In a glance in the hall
In the labored rehearsal with stand-ins
You were there in the shadows
Waiting your chance on the stage
Your turn on the dance floor
Your role in the play of my mind
I fought for you then, not seeing you there
Besting the dragons
The races
The tests
The victory feast was empty without you
So I loved you in silence
But sometimes, when I would stand
On the highest hill
The farthest ocean
The busiest corner
I would call out for you
I still remember knowing you heard
Feeling the deep feelings
The certainty of you
Through the years the nearness of you
Warms and spurs me on
I am loving you into my life
So it can begin
