Darling,
I understand that it gets
quite old
after awhile.
But please,
I beg of you,
to always smile.
You may think
that it is merely a curve
of the lips,
but I assure you
that those like me,
it is one of the reasons
to live.

She does not want you
to promise her
heavens,
she just needs you
to be by her
side
when she burns
through hell.

As I held her tightly,
I could feel her burying
her sorrows
deep in my chest.
And as my arms sheltered
her from all,
her heart sighed with
relief.
It finally found its way home.

As a tear ran down
her eye, laughing non-stop,
I paused for a moment,
witnessed something
and then realized
what I wanted to do from
that moment and on:
to give her a fulfilling life
filled with
laughter and love.

She was undeniably strong,
but could be as gentle
as a Summer breeze.
Educated,
but always remained
humble.
Fierce, yet compassionate.
Well disciplined, but
wildly free.
