How Much I Love You

You may not know how much I love you.
Everything you do
is like a voice whispering in the still of night
that sustains me through.

Yet when the sun does rise,
it’s as if it never set,
for my sky’s sunrise was colorless
until the day we met.

Mercy and forgiveness
you’ve showed once and again.
My gratefulness I cannot show
truly with paper and pen.

I can cry and yet still smile
when for my hand you reach.
You wipe away my fearful tears,
and just how to love, you teach.

Doubt and unbelief
in the possibility of love
was wiped away by you, my sweet,
like an angel sent from above.

You and I stand still
though the world around spins more.
Reflected in your eyes are mine,
and in mine are yours.

We’ve somehow survived our own trials.
Through tragedies we sometimes sit.
Two people are somehow broken,
yet our broken pieces somehow fit.

In your arms you hold me,
but I hold you in my heart.
So no matter where I go,
we will not truly part.

Down our two paths we continue,
and we know not what lies ahead;
but if our paths can intertwine,
I’ll keep faith in you instead.

Have faith in me like mine in yours.
What I tell you is pure and true.
You may not know how much I love you.
Just please know I do.
