Just In Case
by Michael Doyle

I wake up feeling wonderful
At the thought that you're beautiful
I lay there and slowly trace
Your skin and the smile on your face

Thinking to myself that all I know
Is the satisfaction of your glow
As I watch our shadows on the wall
A flickered flame makes us tall

If you were awake, I'd share as an invitation
For us to enter into this communication
As I quietly whisper to you from behind
These thoughts playing slowly on my mind

A few things from our needed base
And I need to tell you that just in case
Suddenly, I had no time for it to be said
These things always run through my head

Just in case, I need you to honestly know
That yesterday was only for today to follow
From the love of all our memories we share
Into today, as I look at you laying bare

Sleeping and dreaming about our tomorrow
That will come with the happiness that follows
And as I let you sleep inside my warm embrace
I whisper to you that maybe just in case...

     .. I will always love you
