I want to give you more than promises,
And visions of dreams unfulfilled!
I want to be part of who you are...
With emotions of yours I can feel!
I can not be a portrait
On a wall that's watched.
I can not measure what I feel for you,
It would be foolish to timeclock what I've got!
Whatever it takes to make you mine...
I'm spending that time now and I'm feeling fine!
Waiting for you to know it's true,
I'm in your mind!
And you are Mind as we 'MineDine'!
I want to give you more than promises,
And visions of dreams unfulfilled!
I come to you completely...
Hoping we can get together,
And you wanting that still!
After what I put you through...
With a love that has grown with me knowing,
I was not ready and confused by love!
You've gone through that too!
And I'm back asking you...
Can you love me as the me I am
With an understanding,
We both can share and borrow...
Expecting a return!
Let the smiles we share now...
Be as bright tomorrow,
And earn all of those that come!
I know I can...
If you will,
Love me!
