Loving You

A poem written to my husband.

I was used to being used, but then came you.

I figured you’d just be like all of them, leaving once their through.

Sick of giving and giving, with nothing given back,

Love, compassion, and honesty, is what they all lack.

But you were a gentleman, but I didn’t see,

Until the night I was drunk, and you tried no moves on me.

Others would have taken advantage, trust me I know

They have done it so many times; it’s like a rerun of a bad show.

But it wasn’t even then, that I truly was able to care,

It took quite some time to realize you were rare.

But after that time, we fell together so great,

It could only be this love that is given by fate.

A life full of strife, blessed with a happy ending,

It was you that did all the mending.

I’m no longer that girl broken and torn,

I feel like I have been completely reborn.

You were the one, who picked up my pieces and placed me back together,

So I know that you and I will last forever.

Because I love you with all my heart,

And you always loved me, right from the start.

Riley, this is a most wonderful write! It comes when we least expect it, sometimes goes unnoticed, yet true love comes through and last eternal.

Thank you for your kind review! He was there in front of me for so long, but I was to blind to see :) Glad he had the patience to wait for me. Hope he still feels it worth it lol.

True love is given because we love some one, not because they love us back or because we get anything in return, then it would be mere trade...not love.
