3 Seconds (Time for Love 6)

The way you move me, thrill me

You bring me to my knees

I’m more of a man with you around

My love shines as bright as your smile,

As smooth as your skin,

As deep as the valley of your charm

And I never want to live without you

I have no future unless you’re in it

No songs to sing,

No love to share

I miss the brush of your lips.

The feather-soft caress of your hair,

And the feel of your joy crashing through me

I’m more of a man with you around

My love shines as bright as your smile,

As smooth as your skin

As deep as the valley of your charm

And I never want to live without you

You’ve opened my eyes to possibilities I never considered

And I’ll spend my days striving to fulfill your every wish,

As I worship each freckle that decorates you

My Irish beauty, my only love, come back to me

I barely registered the tears running down my face, until my father’s weathered hand brushed them from my cheek.

“Go to him, Bronagh,” my da said softly. “It’s obvious you love each other.”

I began to move slowly, people parting as if choreographed as I walked toward the stage.

Unable to contain myself, even though he was still strumming, I shouted out my fears.

“I don’t want you to feel trapped.”

His fingers stilled on the strings and his eyes hit mine.

“I won’t.”

“I don’t want you to wake up one day and regret giving in to my desires, rather than following your own.”
