I Don't Have To...

by Michelle

I don't have to see you
To know you're always there
I don't have to speak to you
To know I'll always care.
I don't have to touch you
To feel you deep inside
I don't have to turn from you
My true self to hide
I don't have to listen
When someone doesn't understand
I don't have to care 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 have you in my bed
For you to set my body all afire.
I don't have to speak to you
Each and every night
I don't have to, but I want to
In fact, leaving is a fight...
I don't have to say I love you
A hundred times a day
But I'll always say it, Honey
Because my love for you is here to stay.

Love you Craig..xxx
