like the morning suns early light,
filling my memories and dreams of us
with a warm and clear radiance.
you have become my love, my life,
and together we have shaped our world
until it seems now as natural as breathing.
but i remember when it wasnt always so -
times when peace and happiness seemed more
like intruders in my life than
the familiar companions they are today;
times when we struggled to know each other,
but always smoothing out those rough spots
until we came to share ourselves completely.
we can never rid our lives entirely
of sadness and difficult times
but we
can understand them together, and grow
stronger as individuals and as a loving couple.
if i dont tell you as often as id like,
its because i could never tell you enough -
that im grateful for you
sharing your life with mine,
and that my love for you will live forever.
