Soul Secret

I want to be the inspiration
that wells up inside you;
and the sweet-scented tulips
that blossom for you in spring.
I want to be the joy that fills your heart
with simple things I do,
and the reason for that smile
that only true love can bring.

I want to be why you shiver
when you hear that special song;
and be the sunshine that fills
your world with warmth and light.
The reason for those days when
you think nothing could go wrong,
and the reason you'll give thanks
when you close your eyes tonight.

I want to be a part of everything
that your heart desires;
to be the reason you stand again
if you should fall.
To fill your life with love and lust,
and all that fuels your passions fire;
and to consider you, my love,
my greatest blessing of them all.

I want to be your soul secret,
your lover, and your friend,
to fade into forever with you,
together hand in hand.
