Here we are now

I Knew I'd Find You

I've always dreamed of you
since a young man 
dew still lying softly 
upon the innocence 
of my youth
you were there

As I was going through the motions 
of my life,
creating paths,
experiencing sorrow, love, joy
you were there

arm draped companionably 
around my love
staring up at the stars 
from my rooftop
thinking of you
you were with me

lonely in the between times
holding on to the thought of you
you were with me

a life built on hope 
desires and strength
knowing one day 
I'd find you

finally the right time approached
and on a very momentous day
we found us
we were there
I for you and you for me

my heart is filled 
more fully than even
I ever dared imagine 
you are my love
the fount from which 
my desires bubble
endlessly

you are my love 
from which I recognize
within my deepest self 
that which I have looked for 
all my mortal life

you 
are the smile on my lips
the twinkle in my eye
the quick pulse
in my heart
the lilt in my laughter
you are my love
I too, have been with you always

I've learned not to push time
because our todays 
pass by so quickly
a minute is a treasure 
in your presence
my love, my one
and it is so easy 
to live--to love you 
on a second to second basis

all I want 
is to love you
today

to live--to love you
to hold you
want you

brush your soft lips 
with my own
to get tangled in your 
body as we fall to sleep
together each night

to hear you sigh 
gently in your sleep
to live--to hold you

to grow in life with you
to give, to hold life gently
in appreciation, celebration
of the precious gift 
that I've been given
in being with you in love

I can so much better 
give of myself what I can
to the rest of the world
for my love for you
multiplies my joy

makes it easier
to be more selfless
more magnanimous

so today as every day
I celebrate you
being in love with you
loving you
being loved.



I Love You Lori!
