My Valentine

Like ocean waves, your breathing
settles my troubled soul.
Laying in bed next to you, you
become my pillow.  I listen to
your beating heart and feel
safe and protected.
Like a prayer I meditate on us.
Inside I explode with emotion.
Knowing you are by my side,
I cherish every moment.

You give me comfort when
my world becomes chaotic.
Reflecting on our relationship, 
helps me deal with life.
My heart embraces you even
when we are not together.
You make me strong when I feel
weak.  Because of you, I feel
the luckiest person in the
entire world.
