If I could tell you,
All the things I want.
I would start with your eyes,
and they way they light up,
when you smile.

I would tell you that I watch your lips,
when they curve into a smile,
and imagine kissing them.

If I could,
I would run my hands,
over your shoulders,
and down your chest.

Your every movement,
drives me crazy,
wanting you,
to hold me closely.

If I could tell you
that I miss you,
I would,
but I would only be telling myself.

I miss him, and I always will. Too bad he will never read this.

But in your hearts set apart Christ as Lord. Always be prepared to give an answer to everyone who asks you to give the reason for the hope that you have. But do this with gentleness and respect.<br /> 1 Peter 3:15&nbsp;
