completely speechless

"you are the one for me"
I've never known the peace
and the assurance...
and the hope...
that flooded me within,
until I read them again.
those words in your letter.

and I'm completely speechless.
for there is nothing I could say
that could say what I feel....
nothing that would ever come close.
for the emotions you create
(the peace, the joy, the happiness...
the humbleness...)
are jumbled within
and are unexplainable in words.

and what can I say in return?
how can I tell you
how much you mean to me?
what can I do but say
the same words to you?
"you are the one for me"
and no storm in life,
and no haunting past,
and no hidden fear...
will ever change that.
