You Are The Sunshine Poem by Tessa Marsland Pettigrove

And now I say goodbye to the way I used to be,
There is no room for question,
Cause your name, it sets me free,
Yesterdays troubles harm me
Todays are creeping in,
So let go of the world around me
Cause your love is all I need.




You feel like liberation
You give me new sensation
You show me what I need
You are my life complete.



You are like a sunset to me,
You're all kinds of beautiful
as you end my day
and you sweetly retire
as stars chase you away.



Grow old with me.
The best is yet to be.
The last of life for which the first was made.



I want to hold the hand inside you
I want to take a breath that's true
I look to you and see nothing
I look to you and see the truth
You live your life
You go in shadows
You'll come apart and you'll go black
Some kind of night in your darkness
Colors your eyes with what's not there



I would walk a thousand miles,
Just to see you.
I would scream a thousand words,
just so you could hear me.
I would cry a thousand tears,
Just so you would know I care about you.
I would sing a thousand love songs,
Just so I could think about you.
I would climb to the top of Mount Everest,
Just so you would know that you are my world.
I would tell you I love you,
Just so you would remember.



I don't know how
to get through the nights without you.
I don't know what kind of life
I'd live without you in it.


I need to be in your arms,
I need you to hold me.
You're my everything,
My heart,
My world,
My soul.

If you left me,
Along with you,
All my life would drain away.




If I could have just one wish,
I would wish to wake up everyday
with the sound of your breath on my neck,
the warmth of your lips on my cheek,
the touch of your fingers on my skin,
and the feel of your heart beating with mine....
Knowing that I could never find that feeling
with anyone than you.
