Analysis of Like You



I use to dream of someone just like you,
To hold me tight, and see me through.
To love my eyes, and to love my smile,
And when I'm scared, stay with me awhile.

But now that I've got you, I don't know what to do,
With these feelings,so powerful, that I have for you.
When I see you my heart falls to the floor,
Everyday with you, I fall in love more and more.

When I'm hurting you are always there,
To take away the pain, and show me you care.
There's no words that could ever compare,
To a love like ours, which is very rare.

You are my sun, my moon and stars
The being of my existence, that's what you are.
All of my doubts and worries dissappear,
I feel so safe when you are near.
The only true fear that could ever deem true,
Is a lifetime of living here without you.
I use to pray for someone like you,
Now my prayers have been answered,my dreams have come true.

Now I dream of our days to come,
And what a life this will become!
