I Hope You Realize

When you walk down the street,

Enveloped in the blanket of night,

And you look up to the black sky,

To see the thousands of stars,

Shining so bright,

I hope you realize,

They’re shining for you.

When you awake before dawn,

Before the sun begins its slow rise,

Across the vast and empty sky,

Breaking through the dark,

To bring us light,

I hope you realize,

It’s rising for you.

When you lay next to me,

Holding me tight in your arms,

As if to never let me go,

And you feel my heart beating

In tandem with yours

I hope you realize,

It’s beating for you.
