I Love My Country Guy

"Here is my hand to lead you Here are my arms that need you" Cilla Black _ I Only Live To Love You
When I met Henry I thought to myself, this will not work. We seemed so different. I considered that I was a sophisticated girl ! I love art and love poetry and red wine. Henry on the other hand was a Jack Daniel's sort of guy. A fix up old cars, motorcycles, and horses kind of guy. A country music guy. A cowboy! But Henry liked poetry, especially mine. He liked nature and he liked me. I think that I knew he was for me when I looked into his sea blue eyes. I loved how his smile would fill a room. He became my best friend and my lover and I love him more than the sun and the moon. Each kiss is like the first one. My life is better with Henry in it and I am never ever letting him go, because who is going to love me more. I need him so much. When he is not with me I miss him and whisper I only live to love you darling. He was that missing puzzle piece that I needed .Sometimes he must leave me for his job and my arms ache for him ...

"He was that missing puzzle piece that I needed ." This says it all. Sometimes with contradictions, love gains more intensity! Lovely writing and your very description of Henry gives us the impression that he is so adorable. All the Best in the contest.
