I Don't Have To...

I don't have to see you
To know you're always there
I don't have to speak to you
To know you’ll always care.

I don't have to turn from you
My true self to hide
I don't have to worry because
I know it's what God has planned.

I don't have to dwell on the past
And the wrong turns that I took
I don't have to keep things from you
My heart is an open book

I don't have to feel unattractive
On the days I look a mess
I don't have to fear what you think
Because you'll still say I'm gorgeous.

I don't have to stop myself
From telling you exactly what I feel
I don't have to pretend with you
Because what we have is real.

I don't have to rest my tired head
It's not slumber I desire
I don't have to speak to you
Each and every night
I don't have to, but I want to
because doing so make me feel alright.

I don't have to say I love you
A hundred times a day
But I'll always say I Love You my Sweet,
Because these Love, is for us to keep.

Thank you for being the heart of my life,
Harboring me in the arms of your love,
Anchoring me in the rock of your faith,
Needing me, that I not be in vain,
Knowing me well, yet loving me still.

You are the island I've found in my sea,
Ocean I dwell in and deep where I dive,
Unfailing heaven and passionate earth
