I will linger in wait until you realize all my words are true, <\/span><\/p>\n

Everywhere you go I pray thoughts of loving me are in you, <\/span><\/p>\n

For so very long I have said I love you what more can I do, <\/span><\/p>\n

Of your beauty are borne tales of a secret love that’s taboo, <\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

When I first set my eyes on you I knew I wanted you near, <\/span><\/p>\n

My home will be where you are I hope I’ve made this clear, <\/span><\/p>\n

Now I know the meaning of music and the love songs I hear, <\/span><\/p>\n

Traveling earth I’ve seen you as an angel when you appear, <\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Anywhere you go I am tethered to you by a magic thread, <\/span><\/p>\n

Temptations will haunt you while I’m away, love me instead, <\/span><\/p>\n

The fear etched in my face is not about coming home dead, <\/span><\/p>\n

In a garden sewn of our love I’ll give you no reason to dread, <\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

I will linger in wait although you fear I will never come home, <\/span><\/p>\n

For you another world of me exists that you have never known, <\/span><\/p>\n

My heart lingers in moments of long ago when on Texas loam, <\/span><\/p>\n

In two seconds of sight my heart was captured by you to own, <\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Now you know that forever on earth I’m in wait to be your man, <\/span><\/p>\n

Just to catch a view of you I will linger nearby whenever I can, <\/span><\/p>\n

I will linger in wait until you remember I vowed to be your man, <\/span><\/p>\n

Am I the haunting soul of a stalker or do I belong as we began, <\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

When I set my eyes on you I may faint or cry as never before, <\/span><\/p>\n

In saran you’ve been safely tucked as I had no means to store,<\/span><\/p>\n

I lingered a moment as a teardrop of dehydration hit the floor, <\/span><\/p>\n

Oh so very thirsty yet I licked clean your photo driven by amour, <\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

And then I lingered to watch us dance on air in light of the night, <\/span><\/p>\n

To a man near death you were redemption from deep in the light, <\/span><\/p>\n

For a lifetime I would linger in pain for just a year to get it right, <\/span><\/p>\n

Soon I will be near yet I fear more than a man in a combat fight, <\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

If only I could touch your tender lips to mine I know I’ll marry you, <\/span><\/p>\n

The memory of our lingering kiss upon a bed has got me through, <\/span><\/p>\n

Nightmares of men raging in combat as dragons belched fire too, <\/span><\/p>\n

Napalm beasts belching into the air almost took me away from you, <\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

A thought of you returns me to the dance floor of love in Texas air, <\/span><\/p>\n

Please wait a few days more as the weakened me will soon be there, <\/span><\/p>\n

Linger but a moment and find the boy you love under graying hair, <\/span><\/p>\n

All innocence is gone but if you look deep I am the ‘I love you stare’, <\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

As a teardrop falls to earth in a cycle of replenishment I atone, <\/span><\/p>\n

Please linger with me in a place of existence we call our home, <\/span><\/p>\n

Say hello with a sigh of relief and call me your man, “your own,”<\/span><\/p>\n

We will be married my angel it’s something I’ve always known, <\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

I will linger forever and a day as your man with feelings of pride, <\/span><\/p>\n

When my time has come I will linger as a guardian at your side,<\/span><\/p>\n

In a place unknown I will take your hand for a last slow waltz glide, <\/span><\/p>\n

Then wait at heaven’s gate to ask ‘will you be my heavenly bride’. <\/span><\/p>\n
