I give my heart to you

Time at once was uncertain, to nothing real did I belong.

Something was missing from my heart, I knew it all along.

I tried and tried to feel, for my heart it craved it so.

But nothing was right, every love I tried, my heart screamed no.

I kissed the lips that held me, but nothing did I feel.

I felt as if I was nothing, I was made up and unreal.

You can’t love when your heart has never seen.

What is this love you speak of? What exactly does it mean?

Do I give to you this heart that has yet to take a beat?

Have I simply without you, just been incomplete?

That must be the answer, I now know what to do.

To you Jessie … I give my heart to you.

For years I searched for someone to love me, for someone to hold my heart. I searched high and low and yet my heart remained empty. It was not until recently that I realized that the person I needed to give my heart to and the person who I desired to love me most was always there, right in front of my eyes. So today I give my heart to the one person who needs to have it for eternity. Myself.
