If I could find a word
to describe how I feel
about you, I'd write it
over and over again
in a love letter to you.

You bring the best
out in me and I know
that you can see
what your love
does to me.

The way you hug
me in the morning
as I sleep and the way
that you kiss me
goodbye as you leave,
trying not to wake me.

Your actions speak
volumes and by them
I know that you truly
love me and I don't
have to ask, because
we both know that
this kind of love lasts.

As the years seem
to fly by, we both know
that neither of us
have to cry anymore
because there is
so much love in store.

Our hearts now
have a home and
know that they are
no longer alone.                     Jon York         2014
