THE WOMAN IN LOVE

Author: Michele Leigh Magnuson

I want to trace your name in the sand 
Like a girl in adolescent years. 

I want to touch your face with my hands 
And be able to calm what you fear. 

I want to draw your name, within the shape of a heart 
Like I might as a young teenage girl. 

I want to protect you like a piece of art 
And keep you safe in case no one else will. 

I want to write your name on a page next to mine 
Like a school girl who has her first crush. 

I want to hold you for endless amounts of time 
So you never forget how I love you that much. 

I want to say your name to everyone I know 
Like the woman in love that I am. 

You're an impression on my heart everywhere I go 
I want to know you in every way that I can.
