More Than Just A Lover Poem by Monty AnNayef

I'm the happiest on earth when near, the saddest when apart,
And if my lips withhold the words, my eyes will bare my heart.
How could I shun you or even dream of letting you go?
You're perfect in my eyes; why speak of faults you'd need to stow?

A second-to-none, with grace supreme and finest aptitude,
My love, I'd never wish to cause you grief or inquietude.
I long to be, in your dear eyes, the one you'd always seek,
The steadfast haven where you turn, in moments strong or weak.

The one who reads your heartbeats, both in solace and despair,
For what you mean to me exceeds all wonders, rich and rare.
I want you bound to me for good, a bond that will not break,
Our moments carved in permanence, no time can ever take.

I love you truly, endlessly, beyond infinity,
And wish to spend my every breath with you, my destiny.
For in your arms, my life finds peace, my heart its truest plea,
My world is you, my every dream, my love, my felicity.
