For You, My Love

“For you, My Love” I watch you sleep Dark limbs entwined in sheets The strength you show even while asleep Makes my heart skip a beat You are the one I’ve come to love The one who exhausts me in fiery passion The one who knows how to make me purr Bless the day we met At the carnival two years prior Avoiding the crowd I walked right into your arms Spilling my chocolate milkshake Over the front of your white coat As I looked up into your hazel eyes Saw the sadness replaced with light Time stood still You said something But I could only hear the sound Of your heart beating Getting hold of my senses I jumped back fumbling in my purse for tissues With a “your coat is soiled, sir” You replied velvet voice “you owe me for damages, miss” My mouth still hanging open We exchanged business cards Anyway, long story short We found each other Love found us Our exchange of rings at the altar Promise of a lifetime of love and understanding Holding each other in the palm of our hands Kissing me awake with your loving touch It thrills me thinking about it You are my shelter My home
