Dec 6
I remember the first time
I saw the color of wonder in your eyes
Sparkling blue and inviting
Delivered sweet surprise

The things that make me a wealthy soul
Are full of memories like this
A warm embrace in the sunshine
A long and intimate kiss

Though the years have gone so quickly
Faster than we could have ever known
We’re older and sometimes wiser now
And find our love has grown

I don’t need to use my eyes to see…
The sins of our world are vivid
Catastrophic colors of pain
Are burned within the retinas of my soul

With a little faith
Hope can be found as well
Like gasoline thrown on a fire’s dying ember
A swell of optimism leaps forth

I remember you
Bringing that spark of hope
When I was despondent and so in need
Pain was replaced by love

I remember the first time
I saw the color of wonder in your eyes
Innocent blue and so inviting
Loneliness, my companion for so long
I could feel fleeing away

I was not sorry to lose my lifelong companion of pain
For I could already see within those sparkling stars
The potential for an everlasting relationship
A kindred soul and a mate for life

Deep breath now, we’re almost to the end…!

A magic growing
Such as I had never experienced
Thanks for the honesty

Thanks for the memories
Thanks for the magic
Thanks for being you…

Aaah…  the magic!
Houdini, David Copperfield, David Blaine
Moses and the magic bush

At this special space
In this magic time
They had nothing on you…

I Love you!
I’m a part of you
Always and forever…
