Right Next To Me

Revealing the sweet way you make me feel unique
                 Intrigued that compassion and empathy I seek
                 Grazing me with warmhearted affection and love
                 Heart racing in gratitude to the Lord above 
                 Tapering off deep loss; now words of hope I speak

      Never needing anything but you in my life
      Everyday I’m very grateful that I am your wife                 
      XOXO I love you, like stardust we glow
      Togetherness we shall spread and faith we shall sow

                             To be honest I know not why you adore me so 
                             Outstanding caresses in the bed you bestow

  Mesmerized by your smile; completeness I do see
  Each moment means the most when you’re right next to me
