Reflections of Love

Closing my eyes I reflect on the memories I have of us
A relationship tha was intimate and full of trust
We always made each other laugh and smile
As we would lay and hold each other for awhile

I remember the touch and the smell of you
And you whispering in my ear that I taste like honeydew
I loved your eyes which held a special glow when filled with desire
I remember fingertips that touched and caressed, feelings that sent my soul 
through the wire

The hugs we always shared are intimate moments I'll forever keep
And how can I forget the contours of your face I traced while you were asleep
You had a special kindness in your heart you were willing to share with others
I'll never forget your facial expression  the day you told me I'd make the perfect 
mother

Every time we held hands there was a tingle inside my heart
And then there were the times you would kiss my nose and tell me we will never 
be apart
Thinking back on our first kiss I remember how nervous I felt
But knowing I'd be kissing you relaxed me and I started having feelings that 
couldn't be helped

I spent the best night of my life lying in your arms
I felt safe and at peace, secure and warm
When I look at you now I still see the love in your eyes
I guess that's why it hurts so much and I guess that's why it makes me cry

There was a time when you told me I was your future wife
But that's over now and to this very day no one has taken your place in my life
You see I have these reflections of our love that can't be taken away
These reflections I'll keep in my heart and hold dear to me every single day

Being Eternally Happy

Someone asked me what it meant to be eternally happy
I closed my eyes and thought of you
I pictured your smile, your laugh, your grace, and your style
All the things that drew me to you in the beginning
Of course you would make me feel this way
I love you and everything about you, there's no denying that
But I reassessed the question
What does it mean to be eternally happy?
To be eternally happy means to be at peace with God
Living him, breathing him, and most importantly knowing him
You can be happy with anything or anyone
But there is a love that's greater than any
One that is known and cherished by many
A love that only he can employ
A love that was put on this earth for all to enjoy
Eternal happiness isn't materialistic, its much, much, more
Its knowing in your afterlife you can walk throught heaven's door
And sit side by side holding a conversation with sweet angels and be okay
While reuniting with loved ones lost along the way
Its knowing you're free and rid of all sin
And the only way to love is to let him in
People say that making friends is hard
And loving isn't easy when it doesn't come from within
Eternal happiness can be achieved once you've found God
And know that it is in him that you have a true friend
So let's pose this question once again
What's your eternal happiness and does it come from within?
