i love you

From across the room, all I want to do is reach out and hold you. I know you are real, and yet this constant need to touch you and be assured of your presence is always there.

There were times when I allow my fears take over, for a while.It is your love that kept me going all those times. I belong to you. And you to me.

Forever is something we might never agree on. For now, the present is enough, the nearest future something to look forward to. Beyond that, who knows?

I love you for your kindness, your courage, your beauty.

I love how you can make me laugh by the simplest of gestures, like that growl with the hands formed into a tiger's claws.

I love you touching me, resting your head on my shoulders and saying you missed me.

I love you for your thirst to understand, to learn, to know.

I love you for your words that made me laugh, and those that made me cry, and those words that made me dream again.

I love you for your optimism and idealism, and for your humility to accept things that were and things that are.

That I love you deeply.

That I found you when I least expected to.

And even though the wind may sometimes not blow our way, I thank the universe for gift that is YOU.
