You are the first of thoughts that fill my head,
The image that I see wherever I go,
The first and final word to escape my lips,
And the sweetest song I have come to know,

I love the sweet smell your body carries with it,
And the taste of your lips when they press tenderly to mine,
I love the feeling of your skin beneath my palms,
And every eye lash that garnishes your lovely eyes,

I love your soft chocolate hair and the way it shapes to your face,
And your eyebrows that frame your beautiful eyes,
unyielding; like daggers they pierce right through me,
And your gentle pianist fingers that intertwine with mine,

I love the feeling of safety in your arms,
The sound of your warm beating heart,
Your soothing voice that shields me from harm,
“I’ll protect you” you coo as I still listen to you heart,


You are the effort in every breathe I take,
The sweet cream cheese icing on a red velvet cake,
And I think to myself when your voice meets my ears,
You are the one I've needed;
the one I'll love for one thousand years.
