Limerence

Limerence. 

Unfalible, enduring, undefeated,
Persistent, 

Words that would describe,
A love that a man refused to hide,

Patiently waiting,
Wanting, longing...
For her eyes to once again gaze upon him 
Lovingly.

Believing, 
Even though days became months,
Months became years,
Holding onto the memory of a once perfect
Love,
"Limerence"

On wings of heaven send blessing,
Her eyes now again gaze upon him,
A light of forgiveness shining,
The light of love shining again.

How deeply precious it is,
The mere thought ...
His every heartbeat beats to love and adore her,
His every breath a sigh of thanks,
For he gets to spend another day holding her
Heart in his hand,

How his love flows through her veins,
Strengthening her very core,
Healing, empowering powerful  love.

The love of her man.

She hugs the wonderful emotion,
Keeps it close to her heart,
Hears God whisper....

Embrace what is given,
Hold it dear,
Give back and love him,

And love without fear.
