I see you
all of you
the most intricate parts
as well as the outer covering
And to know you
is to love you like no other
For you are the most wonderful creature
who I never could’ve guessed would exist
But then I found you
and I uncovered all the many layers of you
year after year
and bit by bit

You’re the handprint on my heart,
the ache that consumes my days.
You’re the air that swirls around me,
always there in so many ways.
You’ve touched me like no other,
having become the fabric of my soul,
and I love you more each day
as you’re the one who makes me whole.

In the dim of day,
you are the place my mind strays.
A welcome escape.

In dreams, we stand
along the shore
against the waves
we can’t ignore.
The threat of turmoil
swirls at our feet,
but we both know
there’s no defeat.
For when we stand,
we abide together,
a bond so strong
it can’t be weathered.
Our love more resilient
with every tide,
shipwrecked we’d be
without the other beside.
