"Just As You Are"

Deep within the black soft velvet of the night sky

My eyes trace out the stars

One by one single lines are drawn

Bringing together the heavens

Sewing them neatly within my thoughts

Long moments pass spent in reflection
I smile at the simple thoughts of you

Though I have yet to venture on passed the first few steps of hello

I am eager for the chance given

And the chance taken

So, here I am

Ready...

Lets take this next step together

Because all that I need you to be is here

Just as you are.
