I Love You Because

Jim Owens 21 September 2006

I love you because:

Love is so much sweeter since I met you, my darling

Once I saw you, my life began to change and reach new and giddy heights

Very soon I was willingly under your spell, there was no turning back

Every day now I am so thankful that we were so wonderfully brought together

You alone define what my happiness is, my Sweetheart

Only with you do I feel so free and fulfilled and loved

Under your love and care I live and flourish

Because I met you, every day is new again

Each time I see you my heart skips and sings

Counting it all joy when you are close to me

An angel on earth that is by my side

Under heaven there is no one else like you.

So often I dream about you, and your beautiful face

Each time I close my eyes, you are there

You accompany me wherever I go

Oh how I wish that you really could

Until we meet again, I will keep pretending

Understand this my love, if nothing else

No one can ever take the place reserved in my heart for you alone

Don’t ever think that anyone or anything can push you out

Every beat of my heart whispers your name

Rest in me my love, as I rest in you

Safe in the knowledge that you can trust me as I trust you

Thankful for that “chance” meeting that welded us together

And that in all the huge world we should meet

No explanation can be found for such serendipitous events

Do not doubt that powerful forces were involved

Dear heart you are so wonderful in every way, and now because of you

Everything in my life now has meaning and value

Around you I feel complete, and sure that the sun will rise tomorrow

Reassured by your beautiful smile and the touch of your tender hands

Every time I look into your entrancing eyes, I cannot look away

Very soon I find myself falling into you, deep into your love

Everything that is within me flows into you, and merges with you

Right down to your deepest centre, your truest self

You draw me in, one with you, no longer apart

Single I may be in actuality, but I am never alone as long as you love me

In you I have found a true soul mate, companion, and fellow traveller

No one can understand me they way you do, nor care so much

Gladly I surrender myself to your loving arms, where I feel safe at last

Losing myself in your wonderful embrace, I close my eyes and dream

Everything that I am belongs to you

Things are not always what they seem.

How easily you captured my heart forever

In me you created a longing and an enduring dream

Never hinting to you that I was in love with you

Granting you knowledge of my friendship alone

I love you my darling

Try not to expect too much from you, I try but I may fail sometimes

Rest assured my Love, that each time I fail I will learn.

You are the focus of my love and I will ever strive to please you

To be in your presence feels like that’s what I as designed for

Our special kiss, is what my entire life has been leading to

Do you feel the same about me?

Oh that you did, how deliriously happy I would be

You’re a treasure beyond any worldly riches

Only our love will remain when all else has faded

Unequalled by anything else this poor world has to offer

Richer are we to have experienced what many never do

Enriched am I, my daring, by the exquisite treasure of your love

Always willing to please me and care for me

Love pours from your heart as living water

Water that quenches the thirst of a dying man

And brings life where there was only decay

You are a blessing to me and an inspiration

Such beauty of spirit, soul and body I have never seen before

There is no way to adequately describe

How you move me and shake me

Ensnaring me in the wonderful web of your precious love

Remaining by your side, my lover and my friend, is what I desire

Entwined with you, my true love forever

To be with you is my pleasure

One with you is my desire

Lend me your heart my precious one, and I will care for it

Every need I will meet, and I will tend it and teat it with love

No one can pluck it out of my hand

Day and night I will stand guard over it

A moment with you my sweet is better than a lifetime apart

Helping me face this lonely life is one of your great gifts

Anything that comes against me cannot stand

Love that flows from you gives me such strength

Power from your love fills me full

In you I live and move and have my being

Never fearing anything as long as you are by my side

Grateful for your love the surrounds me and envelopes me, my darling

Hand in hand we will experience the thrill of love together

Arm in arm we will enjoy life to its fullest

Never fearing the world as we are one

Daring to live the dream that we hold in our hearts

Dearest angel, how I love you and long for you

Every time we are apart I feel that something is missing

And indeed it is, for you are the most important ingredient in the

Recipe of love that is written in fire within us

I need you my true love

Love is not just a word any more, it is the meaning

Of life itself, for without you there is no life, just existence

Very few people in this dark world know of love such as that which fills you

Every day I wonder at the power of your sweet love.

You are so sweet and so precious

Only you can make me whole

Unless you are near, my life is empty

Most of all I wish that I could make love to you

One dream that endures above all the rest

Sensual siren, draw me close to you

The time is coming when you and I will be one

Oh how I long to sleep with you and

Fill you up with my love for you

All my life I have discounted dreams of you

Love such as I have for you, I thought was pure fantasy

Love such as you have for me was too much to hope for

Because of you I can enjoy the beauty and wonder of life

Every colour and sound and smell is rich and full

Calling your name in my dreams and as I cum

Awakens in my such joy and a thrill as never before

Unending and unfathomable as your spirit

Swelling up within you

Exciting all of me

You’re so wonderful and uniquely precious to me

One pure, brilliant spirit in this grey old world

Unless you are with me, I will walk the earth alone

Rambling rose, ramble no longer

Each day fill my heart anew

You are truly amazing, I live to kiss your sweet lips

Only you can make me feel this way, only you can sate my hunger

Unless you are I are one, I cannot be fulfilled
