There's that woman I love

She's my first thought in the morning,
And my last picture at night,
I've loved her on my own in my home,
Someday I will make it right.
How could it be if you've never lived with her?
You can't love someone for that long.

Someday I will tell her, someday she will know,
I will forget the lake and I will be her home,
Take her like she is, let her light my glow,
But how could it be if you don't touch her soul?
You can't love someone for that long and not end up a weary bone.

I have loved no one like I do her,
I'm not scared to be alone,
I want to touch her in the heart,
No matter how she plays a role,
She's my most cherished exhaustion.

How can you love someone that long, how can you love someone that long.

Prose for the loner in love.
