Analysis of You’re My Future



You’re My Future

Something about you says my future
And dreams begin to awaken
Your eyes are enough for me
There is a universe
Echoes and ripples of light
A whole new world
So exciting and new
I never want to sleep.

Your skin of exotic luminosity shines
Diamonds of feminine beauty
Radiate a romantic soul
Gentle as the softest sea
Far as a distant shore
Yet how could it be
You touch me deep inside
And I long to share your space?

What difference is distance to us?
And so it seems I marvel
At your words in silence
Caressing me so soft and close
Is it any wonder it’s you
Who invites my surrender
Eager to embrace your charms
And make my home your paradise?
