Unless You are With Me

Friends, lovers, forever

Engraved on a band of gold

A promise between us

From now till we grow old

A smile, ever longing

A touch that still excites

A look that takes me always

From darkness into light

A presence, always welcome

That never goes astray

A warmth always present

To begin each new day

A kiss always gentle

Loving eyes that warm the heart

The whisper, "I love you"

We are never really apart

This and so much more

You are eternally

My day just simply isn't

Unless you are with me
