I love you the way you are <br />There’s nothing you need to change <br />You’ll always be the perfect you, <br />There’s nothing to rearrange <br /> <br />Without you by my side <br />Colors seem to fade <br />Music loses rhythm <br />And my heart fails to beat <br /> <br />Time tends to slow <br />And the days grow long <br />I feel alone and by myself <br />In till I’m in your arms <br /> <br />I try to mask the pain <br />With endless phony smiles <br />But you pull the uber smile right out of me <br />And make all my fears perish into thin air <br /> <br />You cut through the thorns <br />That have taken my heart hostage <br />And you took a broken heart <br />And made it complete again <br /> <br />I prayed and pleaded for something like you <br />But I never thought you were standing in front of me <br />You took me by surprise in my moment in need <br />And you watched me cry and wiped away the hurt of saying goodbye <br /> <br />You made me see what I could be <br />Gave all that you could, wanted nothing in return <br />You Filled my head with I cans and I wills <br />And make me fall head over heels in love with you <br />Time after time again and again<br /><br />Amanda Michelle Norris<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/without-you-by-my-side-3/
