You

I awake and your face greets me like the bright morning sun
I rub my eyes then see the face of beauty that brings me happiness
Sweetheart, this face is yours and I know with you I have everything
Love radiates from you and peace surrounds me with your love.

When we were young together I somehow knew we would always be
No matter what confronted us, our futures' were already long decided
Then you were my young love, now today you are the only love I require
My darling, while you are here by my side life is so good and remains real.

There were times in our past while we were out walking in forests
I purposely allowed you walk in front of me to gaze and admire you
Though I never told you, I always saw a vision of beauty beyond belief
No artist could ever aspire to paint a picture as desirable as the picture I saw.

Now we are both older and my eyes show me time has been kind to you
Your body bears no scars of aging and you are like a beautiful orchid
The mystery remains within your sculpture as though you are born anew
Oh what joy you have been to me throughout the years of our togetherness.

My love, now as the new day begins my arms reach out in contentment
That you are mine fills me with an excitement only to be shared with you
Watching you breathe the air of our togetherness I again sense your loveliness
And know we shall remain together for as long as we both shall live in love.
