Thankful

I am thankful for the time I was allowed to spend with you.
and knowing the happiest time in my life lasted one week true.

To kiss your tender lips and hold your healing hands
was something very special experienced by a simple man. 

To see the mark upon your face like no other woman would dare
gave me a sense of truth in a time when I was lost in despair. 

Yes I made mistakes but I can not refuse my love
because I know deep down in my soul youre all I'm thinking of 

My vanilla bean my lion queen youre still my number one
and if your love was meant to hurt me I'd do it over just for fun 

48 hours on the phone a record in my book 
We talked about everything from religion to what we cooked 

We told each other I love yous and we said sweet dreams 
We snored until the sun came up or until the morning sun gleamed 

We read books to each other for hours on the phone 
and we played online games when we were bored at home 

I am so greatful to have met someone just like you 
but I admit that I was the biggest mistake that you could ever do;)

for someone who will always remain in my heart thank you for the time shared:)

Time well spent with love at your side has its own satisfactions. Such a sweet verse to tell of the simple pleasures that make life complete.
