Lying on my back feeling the coolness of the grass
It’s summer, I watch dreamily as clouds pass
I close my eyes; the veil of my eyelids red
Thoughts of you teasing and laughing fill my head
I see your brown eyes, mature and wise
You tease me yet love me, a constant surprise
I remember the times when you’ve honestly employed
How you can’t make me happy, can’t bring me joy
I’ve often listened but I never made it clear
That all I need to be happy is to have you near
But when you say to make me happy there’s nothing you won’t do
Is the reason I’m happy and why I’m in love with you.
E.B. (written for me)
