I Love You Poem by Jack Lithgow

As Nightfall is born, you rest your head on your pillow so gently...
I'd lock the windows to my room, turn off the lights and do the same...
No one can comprehend what goes through my head when I'm with you...
It's unexplainable... Almost like the greatest fairy tale ever told...
My eyes get lost in yours... my finger tips tingle and my knees get weak.
If you were to get your heart broken... No one would be there to hold you like I would.
You shine in my pitch black night sky and strike me with feelings that over power my strength...
As I finally close my eye lids and drift into a world of fireflies... I see those beautiful eyes that dare me to do the impossible and unpredictable...
I'll walk through a battlefield of sorrow and hate... To break through to the other side of a gorgeous multicoloured Sunset reflecting off your face...
Your soft, sweet voice is trapped in my head quoting 'hello' for the first time...
As I wake in the morn and slowly rise to my feet, I'll feel real...
Back in reality where I can only pray that I can one day lay beside you as I open my eyes to the real world...
I love you more then I can breathe and I want you more then I could scream...
Even more though... I would climb the highest mountain with whatever weight on my back and walk a thousand miles in the frost bitten weather, to find myself in front of you so our lips could finally meet...


If I were to die tomorrow, I would want you to be the last I see as my dying lyrics whisper in the air...

I love you...
