My Dearest, My Only One

For years, my life was incomplete,
Full of worries, full of troubles,
Full of fears, knowing not where to go.

Then I met you, my love.
Though at first, my eyes failed to see
That good, free-spirited soul of yours…
I almost missed you.

But the heavens would not let it happen,
The angels opened my blind eyes.
Love planted the seed in my heart,
And the Lord renewed my tired soul.

Today, here I am,
Completely fallen for you.
You may not see me for who I am,
You may never love me at all.

But this I tell you now:
You already own my heart.
Hold it dear, close to your own,
Don't let it go, my love,
My dearest, my only one.
