For You

I dreamed of you.

That I could hold your hand

and feel your heartbeat.

I imagined that we were best friends turned lovers

and that I spent every day with you

laughing and loving and living as only we could together.

I hoped for you.

That you would be in stature all that I had ever wanted

and more.

That all of my needs and desires

could be found in your touch

and that with every touch I would find more of myself.

I have you.

That I may reach out and feel your presence

and know that not only are you here now

but you are here to stay forever.

That I can call upon you for anything and have my requests met

all in perfect time.

That every moment we spend together is worthy of my fondest memories

and every time we kiss I fall a little more under your spell.

I love you.

That if tomorrow the earth stands still

and the skies cease to move

I still hold your heart in the palm of my hand

and you hold mine in yours.
