In My Life, In My Heart - 10/04/2008

Babe, I love you,
Just like I promised,
Even after the past 16 months,
Memories came as we kissed.

Seeing you for the first time,
Made my heart melt,
It melted for desire,
I lost all the pain I felt.

Seeing you after so long,
Showed me so much,
I cry as I write this,
Thinking of your last touch.

In my heart,
I know you're better than before,
Despite what is said,
It is only you I adore.

For the past year,
I've been hiding,
Behind myself,
Still wanting you under my wing.

Lying through my teeth,
Just to protect,
What I thought need protecting,
I'm sorry for the disrespect.

I want you,
I need you again,
In my life, in my heart,
It's driving me insane.

Don't tell me it's not love,
Because I know it's so,
I can feel it,
Not another although.

I could write forever about you,
While you're here,
Like last time,
Here comes another tear.

Dedicated to Daniel Gannon
