To Be Where You Are

to be where you are would be like a fairytale to me
my prince charming rescuing me from the ways of men with evil intentions
to be where you are would remind me of a childhood past time,
filling my heart with joy and love unparallel to what I have already experienced
to be where you are would place emphasis on how I truly feel
the reason that I am so passionate about you and want you to be a better man
to be where you are would be to explain why my heart has grown more intimately,
because you are everywhere I want to be

the meaning of love is bestowed in you
often times, finding myself basking in the essence of your being in a daydream
keeping you near my heart allows for my days to run more smoothly
seeing the sunrays of your smiles warms my soul, showing through my facial expressions

it's hard to believe that you're just a friend
having the gratitude and humbleness to make any woman confine in your inner beauty
a rare diamond amongst the masses of cold heart, nonchalant behavior, and held grudges
I find how you are to be true and genuine

you make me want to be a better woman
finding myself changing things about my personality and continued habits,
only to bring to the surface thebest woman living deep within in
no longer do I allow the unworthy treatment of other men,
because I know how a woman is supposed to be treated like because of you
breaking me down and building me up,
you have my ultimately love and trust
holding myself to a higher standard,
you will never let me continue with a cycle of self-destructive likeliness
because you say that you see so much more potential than what I show

excuse me if I ramble on,
I have a love jones for a particular guy

the type of man that shows himself proud, knowing that I know his very being
he allowed to strip him naked to his soul, showing him the mirror image of what I saw in him
could not see him with anyone else,
although I know that he can see his life without me
he says that I'm his best friend, but at times he's my worst enemy
the love/hate relationship that I have with him is one of kind
trying my hardest to not get attached, not even so much being clingy
I don't want to scare him away, but I would hate to see him leave....

I just want to be where he is,
to show him that my love is true. honest. real.
for I know what it would be like without him,
but his presence with my smile utterly speaks "to be where you are"
