For My Future Love

Dear love, I may not yet know you

Dear love, I may not yet see you

But know that I keep an eye out

I guess I'll explain what I'm talking about....

This song is for you, and I

Just the two of us.

I'm writing it before I meet you, why?

The emotions are intense, furious

I feel them all for you already, future love

I carry them within my heart

Like the branch carried by the dove

But I know you are set apart

When we meet, I'll laugh and talk

I'll be awkward and shy

I'll observe things and panic, because I don't want to stalk

I'll leave you with a feeling in my heart and ask why.

I'll sing this song on a date,

When we know it's true.

I'll sing this song on the day,

When I am engaged to you.

I'll sing this song in white,

After I walk down the aisle.

I'll sing this song quietly,

As I hold our first child.

And the words may change

And the tune as well

That doesn't change

That my heart swells

For you, Future Love

Another meeting, another time

I never meet your eyes. Why?

It's because in that span of time

I've gone and caught feelings, and I'm shy.

Twice burned, you know the saying

I'm quick to love, slow to show

I never know what to say

But I'm not discreet, I'm sure you'll know.

Maybe I make you a gift

And run away later

You think there's a rift,

Instead, there's a paper.

It doesn't say much, just a note on why

Why I made it

I just wrote it simple, I'm far too shy

"I just thought you'd like it."

I'll sing this song on a date,

When we know it's true.

I'll sing this song on the day,

When I am engaged to you.

I'll sing this song in white,

After I walk down the aisle.

I'll sing this song quietly,

As I hold our first child.

And the words may change

And the tune as well

That doesn't change

That my heart swells

For you, Future Love

When we start, I take it slow

I want to be properly courted

Not put on a show.

You understood, to my father you reported,

"Sir, I'll take good care of her."

You speak to him before everything

I soon warm up to you, sure

Enough to hold your hand without flinching.

I'm awkward and shy

How do you like me?

I ask and ask why

But I guess it's just because of me?

You respect my boundaries, like a gentleman

You only push me to go beyond my social limits.

Your chivalry and courtesy are what I want in a man

And you keep both our limits.

I'll sing this song on a date,

When we know it's true.

I'll sing this song on the day,

When I am engaged to you.

I'll sing this song in white,

After I walk down the aisle.

I'll sing this song quietly,

As I hold our first child.

And the words may change

And the tune as well

That doesn't change

That my heart swells

For you, Future Love

This song or poem is long

Probably more than I can sing

But it's worth it all along

And when I accept that ring

I'll sing it for you

Tune and words are new

Future Love, take care of me

I'm fragile, and break easily

I lose my heart frequently

It's a flaw of mine

I'll get lost in my head

And I know this doesn't rhyme

But, Future Love

I'm glad that I'm yours, and you're mine.
