The Lover’s Love

Waves of breath flow across my cheek

     As my beloved leans his head against mine

I can hear the beat of his heart

     Closer than my own…

I walk

     And you are beside me.

I trip

     And you catch me.

I see beauty

     And you melt with me.

I starve

     And you feed me.

I plan

     And your ideas energize me.

I hurt

     And you soften the blows.

I excel

     And you rejoice with me.

I am alone

     And you are never far away.

I climb

     And you cling to the rock I am on.

Exalt, o, heart within me; you are mine

     And I am yours.

Even when life steals you from me

     My heart and soul still beat with yours…

     My love is deeper, my joy taller…

     My days are brighter and more whole because of you…

Thank you.

Whether you have a special person or are only left with memories, may your day still be full of love, of one kind or another. Let your heart be full. There are many to love. Happy Valentine’s Day!
