I Can

I can hear you smile
Whenever we talk
It makes me miss your touch
And watching the way you walk

I can close my eyes
See you standing there
I just want to reach out
Stroke my fingers through your hair

I can lay down
Dream of me and you
Of our future hopes and wishes
And our love that is so true

I can feel your love
In the whisper of the wind
Singing gently of your name
As it caresses against my skin

I can see your face
In every shining star
It brings me joy and comfort
Even though we are so far

I can imagine me
Holding your hand
As we walk from place to place
I begin to understand

I can now see
That together we belong
Our fates are sealed together
By this bond that is so strong

I can now feel
That you are all around
I see you everywhere
I hear you in every sound

I can open up
And let this love shine through
For I know now forever
That I belong to you

I can give away
This empty place inside
To you who will fill it
And take me on this ride

I can be brave
And do things I need to do
For I want to prove that
I am worthy of this love from you

I can be strong
And try not to shed these tears
Just let time take it's course
And put away all these fears

I can have faith
In a love without end
Someone who will be with me
Who will be my best friend

I can love you
Until the end of time
Thank you for giving me
Your golden heart to make all mine

I love you - because I can.
