Nothing in life
Prepares you for
The moment when you meet
Your everything:
My love, my lover
My light, my listener,
My stars and my guide,
My angel from heaven.
All my life
I waited.
Now all I can do
Is cry.
Because I know
That when all else fails me
I will wake up
Looking into your eyes.
Overwhelmed
By happiness when I’m with you
And sadness when I’m not.
By fear for what is to come
And solace in what already has.
I think I never understood
The concept of love,
As I grasp
Not one emotion
But every emotion, all at once.
Singing and dancing in beautiful harmony
In my heart, all for you.
Can you hear?
Can you feel it now?
Under the palm of your warm hand
Lying at rest
On my bare, naked chest.
This silence is enough
To speak a thousand million words,
Because those three words are not enough;
Love does not speak in tongues,
It speaks in hearts.
In our hearts.
So, I may be overwhelmed.
I may detach myself sometimes.
I may cry myself to sleep,
In silent gratitude.
Just know, whatever I may seem
Whatever you may feel
I will always love you
As our hearts know the truth,
And always will.
