A Thousand Times

A thousand times, I am as sure as can be
It is your life that I would risked mine saving
When skies are dreary and life overtakes me
You assure me that mine is still worth braving 
But who's he in my peripheral vision
Causing a stir in this perfect frame of trust
With a ready heart on a ninja's mission
Trying to crush our simple love to dust
Still I look at you with a soft, yearning heart
As I think of one of your crooked smiles
So many things that I love... where should I start
That list would go on for a thousand miles
There will be times where my heart is set to roam
Straying towards somebody temptingly new
But I know you're that warmth I want in my home
Trailing a mere thousand pebbles back to you
Like a pinky promise kept in my locket
I'll treat your heart right however I know best
Safely hold mine inside of your shirt pocket
Keeping my love the closest thing to your chest
When weakness happens to leave my heart unsure
Tell me of a thousand reasons why I can't
If in life, I can keep you and nothing more
That is more than a thousand wishes can grant
A thousand ways you have opened up my heart
A thousand times I am as sure as can be
No matter how long it takes for us to start
That in the end there is only you and me


[A lot of editing and re-editing on the bus on my way to and from work to make this right. This poem came to me when I was listening to Canon in D by Pachelbel. This was the song that made me think of Mr. Google when I started liking him. Then all of a sudden, I see Ninja Dragon in the corner of my eye. How did he come into a song that was made for two? But as you can see, in the end, there's going to be no third party..]
