Where can I go
to hide from
this image of love
that haunts me?
For even at night
when I lay down
to sleep, as my eyes
close I see your
smile…
When I am not
near you, the hunger
becomes much too
unbearable…
And when you are near
to me, I want to hold
you so very close, even
to the point of feeling
our hearts beating...
together as one
For I have become
overwhelmed by this
sweet love with its
enduring strength to
bind a willing slave
to its powers
And I know that my life
could never be happy
without you always by my
side.
When I first met my wife in April 1977, we stayed in separate dormitories, men with men, and women with women in the Air Force, we married June 24 of that same year...it will be 37 years this June, love at first sight does happen
