Matthew Holloway (10 June 1978 / Cheshire, England)
The sum of my heart
The sum of my heart
~
Without you I would never achieve the person I wish to be
You are the sum of my heart, soul and mind
You are beautiful and breathless
My every season combined
You are eternity and more
You are my greatest love
my poetry, my muse
The dream I now keep
Close to my every thought
Each hope and prayer every wish
It is what I say between words
That speaks volumes of our love
It is the lasting look in my eyes
That holds you gently
Away from what I give to you
Is what I find now in myself
A change, a growth
You are making me more
By your nature I feed, drink, breathe
Stay close, stay where you are my love
For without you I wilt and face the fear
I will not become the person I wish to be
