Whenever

For my wonderful girlfriend

Whenever I look into your eyes

I dread all goodbyes

I dare not turn away

I fear you won’t be there the next day




Whenever you smile at me

Your beauty is something I thought I’d never see

My heart begins to race

Lost in the splendor of you face




Whenever you take my hand

Time stops dripping sand

If you ever let go

My blood will cease to flow




Whenever I hold you against my chest

I forget about the rest

It’s my own intimate world

Alongside the perfect girl




Whenever we’re together

I don’t care about forever

Without you in the present

My life would be a mournful lament
