I Love You... Poem by Natalie Nicole Story

...listening to "Are You With Me" today...as I'd just gotten in my car
Easton Corbin singing lyrics that suddenly resonated in my heart towards you
...tears rolling down my face
...let it flow Niki...
let it roll on down...out...now
...but it stayed
this awareness...this pain...of not having you...in my arms

I saw you tonight...after thinking about you all day
...and all it did was hurt because for some reason I couldn't approach you
...something that was so easy to do before
it's now so hard
I feel so naked and transparent in my heart
that in one glimpse she'll see and take you completely away from me.

So, I asked him to deliver the message...my token...my heart
...wrapped neatly in a baggie
...a little sweet, a little tart, a little soft, a little crunchy
just waiting to be held in those hands of yours...and to touch your lips...
...even if mine cannot...at least something I created can
a piece of me is inside you...nourishing you...warming your soul

So many deep breaths I've taken...today
I don't remember ever really feeling quite this way...
I know..bit by bit...day by day
Lord, into these hands please...I pray!
