I awake and wipe away the sleep from my eyes.

I turn to see you still lying there next to me.

your breathtaking emerald green eyes already up, staring back at me.

Your eyes scan my face.

I suddenly feel your soft hand caressing my cheek.

Your tender, gentle lips press against mine.

When you pull away you smile.

You smile that mesmerizing smile. that smile that pulls me in a little more each passing day.

The sunlight breaking through the window dances off your skin.

Shining on every little beautiful imperfection.

I run my fingers through your soft hair and kiss your palm while admiring you in all your natural beauty.

Every little scar covering your body telling a part of your story.

Every freckles and beauty mark put there by god himself.

Your kind soul and beautiful heart shining even throughout the darkest of times.

I know I am but a damaged soul in this world.

You chose to love me through every hardship and I will make the same easy choice each day to love you back.

For that is the promise we made to each other.

To love each other through the bad and the good.

To stick by each other's side and jump through the hurdles together.

My dearest, I love you with every breath I breathe from my lungs and every piece of my broken  heart.
