To say, I have never loved other women, is not true,
Or at least what I thought was love at the time,
As I am sure it has been with other men for you.
I CAN say, I feel connected to you
As I have never felt with any other woman.
Your love washes over me like a wave
And totally consumes my very being.
It fills me with life and gives me meaning.
The other loves were so shallow
As to walk on the beach on the thin water
Of a receded wave.
I think them not so much as love
As lust of a hormone driven young man
Searching for that one special person.
One who could look past the gangly,
Less than handsome creature before her,
Through to a heart waiting
To unload a ton of love on her.
That first night we met
Was nothing short of a miracle for me.
It was as a rose bud inside me blossomed.
It was like stepping from the darkness
Into bright sunlight.
Like a blind man, seeing
For the first time in his life.
I knew, at that instant in time
That you were to be mine.
I had never felt so sure
Of anything in my life,
And the magic of that moment
Has not subsided and still gives me tremendous joy.
Thank you lord for this woman
That I dearly love,
And I pray I never fail her,
For I know, in this life,
And in this world,
I could never find another
This warm and this loving or
Give me as much joy, as
This mate you have provided for me.
If anyone asks,
“Do you believe in miracles and magic”?
I do not hesitate,
With a resounding “yes”.
I don’t know, what or who
Brought us together
But, all I know is I am thankful.
You are my sun in the morning,
And my stars at night.
You are the air I breathe,
And all that is right.
If you ever doubt my love for you
Just read this letter and know,
My heart belongs to you for all time,
As it has in the past,
it will forever be.
