Have I Told You?

Have I told you lately
How much I love you?
The way the snow sparkles in your eyes
Autumn leaves dancing behind your hair
Rocks crunching underneath your tennis shoes


Have I told you lately
How much I adore you?
Your understanding heart,
The humbleness in your soul
The hardness of your mind.


Have I told you lately
How much my heart hurts for you?
To see your inside outside sadness
Your a teen mom in a matter of speaking
You care and babysit your brothers
While your mom and step-day work away
You play your part well, but I'd love to change your life


Have I told you lately
How much I can feel your soul?
The way empathy consumes my heart?
My heart breaks when yours aches
There is this invisible string that runs deep
Am I going too far?


Have I told you lately 
How much you surprise me?
When I let something out of my mind, you already knew
It's as if you get my mind. 


Have I told you that I'm beyond glad that your happy
As I've told you before, as long as your happy, I am too
Stay true to the girl I met not long ago
The girl that is one of the few that strengthens me
Thank you for doing that.


Have I told you before
That I know you'll never leave
After much writing and talking and convincing, I believe
Doubt doesn't consume me, which really did take a weight off
I appreciate your daily reassurance 
It's something I need


Have I told you lately
That I'll always be here?
How much you mean to me?
I know that this is a big guess, and I'm not afraid to infer
But I never need to tell you, you know already.
