Breathless

Give me several million hours

and I wouldn’t have a clue,

how to write down in that time

all I love about you.

Give me a rainbow of colors

and bring the paint by the cart,

and there wouldn’t be enough paint

to capture the love in my heart.

Take all the angel’s voices

singing out in unison,

and the song would be for you

and would never be quite done.

For if you give me one look

or one smile, or a glance,

that’s all it takes for my heart

to flourish and to dance!

For you are the catalyst of my soul-what can I say?

You’re my reason for breathing

yet, you take my breath away.
