First impressions dug deep into hearts of confusion Messages of love so warm and vibrant Perhaps we were fertile for such seeds of emotion? Planted so accurately in our souls, cautious and yet receptive As time proceeded the kernels of realisation developed roots, deep and stable Reassuring our minds and relaxing our subliminal tension Smoothing our lives as wonderful memories are built, daily Simple hand touching and brushing of lips, sensitive and meaningful Walking, talking and learning A new experience that has become ‘us’, Jan and Max No longer just two people but a synergy in living and loving We get to know contentment and embrace it as a tender thing Every day a careful brick of love is put in the wall of our future Built on foundations of beautiful harmony and understanding A creation of happiness and determination worn with confidence Since no such feeling has ever before been available to us Fortune and luck is one thing but such poignancy and roundness Is seldom delivered in such an elegant packaging as our love Each day is a treasure whatever we do Feeling you close, hearing your voice, seeing your face. Why is it so wonderful, was it the wait? The lack of a belief then destroyed by the reality in fact? Desperation of having no future, no plans and no-one to hold? If so all of these are yet diminished by perfection How close we are, how much we know of each other Not just now but of the past and of the future we will share Such true souls never to be parted, ever These things are not accidental but designed with cosmic influence Darling Jan since we met our growth has been amazing Within ourselves and for each other, personally and as a couple Stronger and stronger from one to a million and on In this world and all to come My whole being is completed, enhanced and fulfilled by you Every day wonderful and a joyful symphony of love My soul and yours are united forever and my heart...? I gave you my heart so long ago.... on the day we met.
