....Almost fourteen days in a row
I got to see your kind face.

Almost every hour
we would spend together-
and you should know
that I never grow tired of your face.
In your company
is my favorite place to be.

Five.....
Six......
Seven.......
Eight........

....­....Almost eighteen hours have passed now
and I miss being with you.
It is a pain I cannot recount
and a coldness I cannot weather.

In a world I can no longer trust,
I have found my sanctuary
in your longing embrace.
Your kiss is something my body craves
and I have no desire to be free
from this drug-like craze.

The way your lips shape into a genuine smile
is something even angels would praise,
only to be outdone by
the song in my heart that accompanies
the sound of your name.

Merely the thought of you conjures up
fantasies of love
and dreams come true.
I hear your knock upon my door
and I know it is you.

My heart dances and I leap from my seat with joy!

Come to me, my love!
Come to me!
Soon you will be in my arms again.

Come to me, love

in three...
two..
one.
Nobody is perfect,
but I believe you can get very close.
I warn you though:
never try to be perfect-it isn’t worth it.

Trying to be perfect
Is what makes us stumble and slip.
Would you care to know the secret
to becoming almost nearly perfect?

I will tell you but you must promise me
that you will not twist my words
for I will be answering quite plainly.
Follow my instruction or you’ll only get worse.

Be yourself. That’s all.
Can this be the truth? The sought-after secret?
Yes! Believe me and believe most of all:

Every person is born unique.
Who should seek to be like someone else when
the person they are is their very own?
I pray that when you play this hide-and-seek
you will  find yourself
and see the perfect you that I see-
the you that I love,
the true you that, in my heart, I will always carry.
A thousand words cannot describe
the way you made me feel inside.
A thousand and one tears I could have cried
the moment you smiled and sighed
I do.
I promise to always be by your side.
In sickness and health, through death and the next life,
whenever you need me, I'll be more than happy to oblige.
No matter of rich or poor or where we reside,
wherever you want to go I'll take you there; I'll be your guide.

I vow myself entirely to you.
No words ring more clear or true
than those three bold words: I love you.

You make me the happiest person alive
and I vow, until the day I die,
you will never regret the day you said

*I do.
