Loving You

I wake up each day loving you.
I smell your scent in my pillows,
and feel the tingle that you give.
This is what I get for loving you,

I sip my morning tea loving you.
I taste the peppermint and am
reminded of your sweet kisses.
This is what I get for loving you.

I go through my day loving you.
I hear your soothing voice telling me
that your love will carry me through.
This is what I get for loving you.

I sip my evening cola loving you.
I taste the sweetness and am
reminded how sweet you are to me.
This is what I get for loving you.

I bed down for the night loving you.
I know that we cannot be together,
but in my dreams, love, you are there.
This is what I get for loving you.
