Please enjoy the words written here.  They are very personal to me and come from the heart....

Because I tried to seek love out,
it never seemed to come about.
The more I sought to make it be,
The more true love eluded me.

And so, I said, with heavy heart,
To be alone is just as smart.
I made a life without a mate,
Found some peace, gave up the wait.

Just then, my Dear, you came along,
I felt the timing was all wrong.
I tried to run and to resist,
But felt you couldn't be dismissed.

At last, I share, on equal ground,
Where honesty and love abound.
The last thing I was thinking of
was that you'd be my one true love.

We're working out the quirks and fears,
Shared some smiles, but shed some tears.
What's to come, is still unknown..
But this I know:  I'm not alone.

I never knew how much I missed love,
Until I missed you.
I thought my life was passionate and full,
Until I kissed you.
You're my anchor and my friend.
On you, I can depend.
I always want you by my side:
I can't resist you.

I never knew that I was lost
Until you found me.
I thought my heart was out of reach,
But you surround me.
You are my weakness and my strength,
And I'll go to any length
To say that I am only whole
When you're around me.

I  miss you in the morning, Dear,
when I am first awake.
Before the birds begin to sing,
my heart begins to ache.

And as the day unfolds, I pray,
that you are safe and sound:
Imagining that you'll be there
if I should turn around.

In quiet moments, after noon,
your voice, I hear, again.
Those gentle words of love return,
and I remember when...

Then, darkness falls, and I am still,
and you are nowhere near.
I fall asleep, and in my dreams,
I miss you more, my Dear.
