If I Was A Painter Poem by Tim Romines

I would paint your portrait a thousand times,
Yet never capturing your true beauty
But never giving up

If I were a musician
I would write you song after song
Yet never being able to express in words
How you lift up my heart

If I were a poet
I would write a thousand lines
Only falling short of explaining how
I truly feel inside

I am a simple man with simple thoughts
Yet with such complex feelings for you
I am unable to express them to you
In oils, music or words

All I have is indeed true love and friendship
For you my closest friend
Feelings I know you share
You have found the key that unlocks me

My heart is joyful and free
Of any ill feeling I might have once had
You have released the chains of doubt
And I know now what true love is

Thank you for being my rock
Thank you for being my shoulder
I will always cherish that what you have given me
My heart is yours forever

I commit to you this day
That you will always be in my heart
You have given me the chance I needed
For a fresh new start

I accept you for who you are
I trust you have done the same
I care not what others might say
I will always be there for you the same
