Time and Eternity - CJB

To Kimberly,
The love of my life, my joy and my inspiration, my lover, best friend, and companion. I give to you my heart, my soul, and my love ... for all of eternity.

Time and Eternity
I have waited till the end of time for you.
I can wait and watch the waves and time go by,
For you.
I can wait and stare at your image for all of a day,
I can wait and dream of "our" time together
Me and you.
I am the one who seeks to find,
In my soul the solace of you.
In my heart the feelings I have,
For you.
In my dreams the desires
For you.
Now I'd wait my whole life for you.
The more I search the more I need you.
The more I believe the more I bleed for you.
You make me smash the clock and feel,
Stopped the running and the game.
Time was never on my side.
But from now on I have my whole lifetime.
My lifetime,
For a lifetime with you.
Hear me,
And if you close your mind in fear,
I will pry it open.
See me.
And if I see your tears,
I will reach out and kiss them.
Hear me.
And when you start to come undone,
I will stitch you together.
See me.
And when I see you lose control,
I will be there to hold you.
Hear me.
And if you stumble and fall,
I will carry you.
See me.
And when the time has come,
I will take your hand.
For time and eternity.
Time and Eternity.
