12...

as if we passed a major test
triumphant and victorious
we are both right now at our best
in our love so glorious

although downtrodden a bit
here and there
our light is still lit
shining away as if tempting a dare

which is why we have survived
thus far
a reason to be alive
thank you for being my favorite and lucky star

the way you try with me
and show your love and fears
the way you let me 'be'
and wipe my tears

i eagerly await loving and learning
from you
and continuing to experience how
this feels like genuine truth
i love you forever and so much right now...

Happy Anniversary, my love

s.m.

just think...

of how i wish to care for you
when your days seem long, endless
when your body shuts down
when your mind is anxious...

i will help take the load off,
help you with your work
i will feed you and provide you with water
i will run my hands through your hair
and whisper that i love you

just think

of how i wish to love you
when you are feeling lost
when you are feeling stressed
when you are feeling sad

i will help guide you back to the right path
i will help calm you down
i will make you smile...

i love you,

s.m.

her

how she keeps her own temper down
while i go on and on
i will never know

she talks about her love for me
and i am brought to the reality of
the power of it all

the passion that exists
while going through the good and the bad
bonds us together...

s.m.

i wonder when the hurt will go away...
