So Much Love (02/25/15)

You are the spark in my pulse that starts a fire

You are the thoughts in my mind that never end

You are my heart and soul and timeless desire

Mine to love, to cherish, and to defend

I always craved a love like this to feel

A shining knight, a warrior woman, a damsel in distress

I hid in fiction waiting for something real

Someone who wouldn't make me second guess

Thank you for giving me your love

And thank you for accepting mine as well

For being there even when push comes to shove

Strong hearts that never need to say farewell

Go the Distance (2/17/15)

I may not be with you in person,

But I am always with you in my heart.

I know there is distance between us,

But in my dreams we are never apart.

I think of you often, and then some,

I can’t wait to talk to you each day.

Your messages and calls delight me,

I love you in so many ways.

From your beautiful face as you smile,

To your kissable lips and golden eyes,

From your laugh that I love to hear,

To your matching me by being pint sized.

You are good, you are kind, you are sweet.

You are truly amazing inside and out.

I never thought I could love like this,

But now I can’t go without.

Someday the miles won’t be so many,

And I’ll hold you so close in my arms.

I love you so much, baby doll,

All I want is to keep you from harm.

From Where You Are (2/12/15)

Sometimes when I think about you, I just can’t find my breath

Sometimes when I dream of you, all I can do is smile wide

Sometimes when I talk to you, your words make me blush like crazy

Sometimes when I need you, it hurts so much that I hide.

When the distance starts to get to me, when the miles are just too much

My emotions get the best of me and I don’t know how to go on

Reading what you wrote, hearing your voice in my ear

Pales in comparison to the thought of your touch

Your laughter is a treasure, your smile a match

That lights up my world, from the inside out

I’ve always been quick to care, my heart knows no bounds

You’ve opened my eyes and now I don’t know how to go without

In Memoriam (2/12/15)

I closed my eyes for just a moment,
Their weight being too much to hold.
When next I opened them I saw you,
Standing at the edge of my vision.
I couldn't help but smile at the sight.
We talked and laughed like always,
Like no time had passed at all.
We spent what seemed like hours,
Without a single care in the world,
But then a sound came from afar.
And I looked away for just a moment,
But you were gone when I turned back.
When I realized it was all just a dream,
My eyes filled up with tears.
My heart felt heavy and bereft,
The reality of your loss had returned.
How I wish I could dream you again,
No matter what the cost.
