Within Your Pages

I’ll be your pen, if you’ll be my journal
And within you I’ll compose a song of love.
Within you I’ll jot out my own sweet memories,
And within you I’ll write things you’ll never believe…
Like the adventures that have brought me 
To the here, to the now, 
And have created the person I am.
I am trusting you with my love to conquer my hatred.
My words are my promises,
And I won’t conceal any thought from you…
For within your pages I’ll inscribe
Everything I can transmit from my mind
And all the words that will always be 

From the heart,
From the soul,
All the words I’ve never told
To anyone else ever before.
My love is your gift
Keep it safe and warm.
~XoXo~
