THE LOVE WE SHARE

When I’m all dressy, you adore my charms -
I’m reaction-affected straight into your arms.

When morning touches our bed, our snuggle wiggles closer -
Light touches us as one and soft kisses are freshly begun.

In lighthearted moods, we laugh and play in rain -
Building ample joy to sail through any life strain.

We share secrets, dreams and life stories -
We grow by delving into all life categories.

Before night embraces our star bound wishes -
You seal them ambitious in love sewn stitches.

What I watch, you see, too;
When you need a fan, that is who I am;
When I laugh, it is echoed by you;
When in need of a listener, my ears heed;
What I feel, you seek to reveal; and
When you find joy in any minute, I am in it.

Content, you read your book while these words I write,
yet you have no knowledge of even being here tonight.
You have never gazed at me with love in your eyes
or even acknowledged me when I was within your sight.
Love thru fantasy is all I have to stifle my heart cries
and keep my entirety safe from unrequited love demise.

As love should be...two as one. Unrequited is bad for the heart. Sometimes we just have to trust that even this may serve God's greater purpose. I have no answers for many things. Blessings my friend. Moving honest write. Well done.

Dear CayCay, felt like someone slowly turning a light on in a room you didn’t know you were standing in. All that tenderness in the first half with shared breath, mirrored joy, the easy weaving of two lives, makes the turn hit harder. Beautiful! Winter Blessings, CayCay, Daniel
