Love....

I Love You

I lay here
Thinking of you and what your presence does to me
You make me happy
You make me feel free
You encourage me to be the best
To work at all that God wants me to be.


I lay here upset at the fact that I can't say it
Say the words that want to tumble forth from my lips
I want to be able to lay next to you
Be able to hear your heart beating
Look up into your muddy river depths
Close my eyes and let my heart be windswept.


I want to open my mouth and whisper it
To only you at first
Then shout it from the mountain top
That "I love you Chris!"

Unaware

You catch me in unawares

I'm not ready to unveil my heart

But you capture it in one stare.

In one instance you see into my soul

I was really not ready to love you

Not ready to be here

But here I lay thinking of how my soul lies bare!

Something about you drives me crazy

Makes me want to leave everything

Just to be beside you when you're laughing

To be beside you ensuring your life is what God wants it to be,

Something inside of you pulls me to you,

Makes me believe that yes love may be found in you.

Yes your presence catches me unaware

Yes your presence has totally captivated my heart,

Yes I lie here really truly into you,

I believe that it's time for true love to start!
