I love you much more than any words can relay, I love you at the beginning and the end of each of my days. I need you there each time we go for a long walk, to always listen patiently to me at those times I need to talk. To silently with love brush away a falling tear, while you hold me close and assure me I have nothing to fear. Feeling safe and comfortable laying next to you, aware whatever we face together our love will see us through. Lasting memories made and a life to treasure, with love so deep you would never be able to actually measure. When I am with you I am filled with happiness, wanting again to feel the touch from your hands loving caress. Enduring all life’s hardships and happiness too, every hour I am awake my time is filled with thoughts of you. We were so young and never realized when we met, how our hearts could meet and blend into one loving silhouette. Each year together now so quickly passes us by, loving thoughts return to our yesterdays and the reason why. We took the time to let this precious love grow, making sure each and every day we let the other one know. The days you are away seem to drag by too slow, but when I look out my window I will soon see the love I know. Knowing I will once again be held in your embrace, as we are once more spellbound by this love you cannot replace. Time and years are etched deeply upon each face, but this love which started so many years ago time cannot erase. Darling, kiss me tenderly when you go out the door, remember how much I love you and I will love you forever more. © Brenda Sparkman August 28, 2007
