What am I to you?

What am I to you? 

Am I just some one else?

Am I one of your trophies,

 that sets on your shelf?

What am I to you?

Am I someone you love?

Am I someone so dear?

Or just another person to shove?

What am I to you?

Am I one of great treasure?

One of grand happiness,

Which no mortal could measure?

What am I to you?

Am I to you, as you are to me?

Explain to me this!

Am I only yours to see?

When everyone else says,

That you are just lead,

You are my gold,

That shines out all dread?

Others may say

That you arent worth a dime!

My love, Id give up everything

Just to have you near, one time

Am I to you,

as you are to me

A diamond in the rough

That only I can see.

Am I to you,

Like sweet summer rain,

Quiet, and soft,

And gives life to everything.

Am I to you,

Like honey to the bees

Sweet as morning dew

Dripping off the leaves

Valuable it is to them,

They work all day and night

to only make a little

But life to them in their sight!

Am I to you,

as the sun is to the moon?

In a constant race

Never ending, never soon!

The moon chases

For eons it seems,

To catch his love,

The sun and her beams!

Every now and again,

He receives on a kiss

The earth sighs

In their total eclipse

Never the moon stops,

Not even for rest

He will continue to chase

Always doing his best.

What am I to you,

Is it like you are to me?

Am I your island of paradise,

In this lonely hell of a sea?

Am I to you,

Your only sign of joy

Like that of a child,

With only one, favorite toy.

What am I to you,

Are you truly, only mine?

Together, forever,

You and I for all time.

Am I to you,

As you are to me?

I speak to truth

You are all that I see.

In my dreams, you are there,

Holding my hand,

Telling me that

Im a gift so grand

I look up at you,

You have a smile on your face,

I cant help but blink

Blinded by your giving grace.

In my thoughts throughout the day

I hear you whisper in my mind

Saying how much you love me

And one day, you, I will find.

You are so far away

I cant help but wonder

If you are okay,

Or is life nothing but thunder.

I want to be there

To shield you for pain

To help you recover

From others acid rain.

They say,

That only time can heal,

But only love can make

One once again feel.

You are mine,

My only and true

You are all these things to me

What am I to you?
