Only With You
By
Kelly M. Kirkpatrick

She seems to fall in love
With everyone she meets.
Every smile is a victory;
She has never known defeat.
If you ask me if I love her,
I'll have to say I do.
She showed me love I never knew.
I am true
Only with you.

A toast of wine
By candlelight,
Words remembered,
Moments cherished
Until the twilight of our lives.
A faded rose,
A photograph -
The music of the evening
Still lingers in her laugh.
We were in love.

She is a restless spirit,
Capricious and carefree.
Her heart does tend to wander,
But she returns to me;
And when the journey's over,
And when the day is done,
We'll learn again to live as one.
I am true
Only with you.

Do I believe in the promise of tomorrow?
Can I forget the hopeless yesterdays?
When I envision you
In my arms forever,
The shadow of my doubts fades away.

No bitter tears,
No last embrace -

You are the mystery,
the beauty and the grace.

The moral of this story
Is neither old nor new.
It's that life is for the living,
And I feel alive with you.
So no more hesitation
Or insecurity,
We'll live the life that lovers do.
I am true
Only with you.
