P.S. I Love You

Can I take your heart out,
And hold it in my hand?
Keep it and cradle it forever?
Thank you, I knew you'd understand.
Can I touch your soul,
Somehow change your life?
Take you from a darkness
And shine a little bit of natural light.
Can I open up your eyes
And help you to see?
The beautiful things in life
It would be so easy.
Can I kiss your lips
Share that sweet embrace?
As my rough, scarred hands
Trail gently across your sweet face.
Can I spread your fingers
And watch the workings of your hand?
As we fall to the ground
And help each other stand.
Can I borrow your voice
And use it to sing?
A song sweet enough, just for you
I'll sing anything.
Can I share your mind
And give it new things to think?
Letting your brain swim
When all it technically does is sink.
Can I keep you
Forever and always and evermore?
Keeping all of the things I love about you
Locked behind my heart's most secret door.
Can I give myself to you
With all of my good and bad?
You make me so happy
When we're so used to being sad.
Can I Keep You
Every odd and end?
My darling, my love, my sweet...
And above all, my friend.

P.S. I Love You
