"You Say You Love Rain, But You Use An Umbrella To Walk Under It. You Say You Love Sun, But You Seek Shelter When It's Shining. You Say You Love Wind, But When It Comes You Close Your Windows. So That's Why I'm Scared When You Say You Love Me." Bob M.

You move me
Like a father
Walking his baby girl down the aisle
Holding his tears back as he gives her away
To another man to call his own

You move me
Like a mother
Holding her newborn child for the first time
Knowing
They will soon be on their own

You move me
Like a child
Receiving his first kiss from his crush
The butterflies he felt
Like receiving his first toy

You move me
Like the pain in my heart
Knowing you will be gone forever
Realizing
The next time I see you is when my time comes
You move me
