To That Future

Hi,
It’s the only thing I can think to say
The only thing that won’t give me away
That one day I will love you
I will crave you
I will fight for you

My future, I’ll say
Will you take my heartbeat
Put it in your pocket
Like a watch on a chain?
And know that when loneliness
Begins to creep
You need only to pull it out
And watch it beat.

It will flutter at the notion
Stutter at your touch,
Promise with its motion
That no one has loved you as much.

Beloved, I will ask,
Will you hold my hand
Tuck it away
Cherish the feeling
Like the light of the day?
When fear comes near
And fear demands,
Just tighten your grip
And draw strength from my hands.

They will caress away all your pain
Run fingers through your hair
Hold you through every day’s wane,
Fingertips will show you I care.

My husband,
Will you see me as I’ll see you?
Dream of me as I dream of you?
Can I hold you?
Can I kiss you?
Will you let me play a part
In the journey of your life
Be the bearer of your heart?

I’ll hold tightly to your heartbeat
Gently hold your hand,
Half way we would always meet
And every moment, for our love I would stand.
