The Part of Me........

written.....February 23rd, 2004

The part of me that loves you
is deep inside my soul,
the warmest of my feelings
that keeps me from the cold

The part of me that needs you
is the little boy so scared
that knows that you'll protect me
from all the dragons near.

The part of me that sees you
looks open-eyed inside
at your beauty so deep and lovely
I nearly want to cry.

The part of me that holds you
Feels your treasured heart
a beat-by-beat citation
our love will never part.

The part of me that smells you
is excited by your scent
I breathe deep for the sheer pleasure
of you and all you've meant.

The part of me that loves you
simply wants to know
that for all time eternal
Where you are.....I'll go.
