While I Do Love You

I have seen lives shattered,
and at times falling apart
as if even years are scattered,
have experienced the pain of the heart
and even when I feel tattered
in your presence a new day does start

that burns like a never ending flame
your kind of loving is a glorious art
and even if the past events mattered
I am different since out of the blue,

you unexpectedly came,
to paint my world a different kind of hue
I want to honour your name
in everything that I do
as my life will never again be the same
while I do love you
and to only you my feelings are true.
