The Things I love Most

by Mike Preissner

As I lay in my bed,

Waiting to fall asleep,

I think of you.

The things I love most about you come to mind quickly,

Your eyes, your hair,

and how your smile brightens the gloomiest of days, and turns despair into hope.

They say love is war, and you're winning this one.

The way you walk,

The sound of your voice,

The way you hold me when we're together,

All can bring me to my knees.

When we kiss, my heart stops,

And in that instant, I feel I could die a happy man.

I am thankful for all the time I can spend with you,

And I will always keep a place for you deep within my heart.
