Three Months Later

**corny, but written in celebration of being together for 3 months...**

Today marks the third month of our meeting--
How the time has flown!
So I'll take this chance to reminisce
Of how our friendship and love has grown:

The first day when I met you,
I was "luckily" late for school!
And though only our first exchange,
There was certainly a pull.

The week I spent in Maryland
Was the week that we grew close;
I saw how "sweet" and "kind" you were
And got a healthy dose.

It seems that after Spring Break week,
The days just hastened by--
I grew more and more attached to you...
You never left my mind.

You helped me in so many ways
Of some I can't explain;
You taught me to move on with life
And helped ease my heart's pain.

You made me feel secure in you,
On you I could depend;
You took the "role" of "body guard"
Yet also filled "best friend".

The days flew by too fast to see
Just as the spring's cool breeze;
The more and more I talked with you,
The more I felt at ease.

Soon I opened up to you,
Turned my heart inside out;
You didn't want me "bottled up,"
You were my escape route.

Day by day we grew yet closer--
The weeks, they disappeared;
And soon I had discovered that
I'd fallen in love...just as I feared.

But why was I afraid to love?
That fear, it quickly passed--
When I realized just how blessed I was,
I then prayed this love would last!

You were all I'd ever dreamt to have,
I loved you the way you were;
And the day I let those three words "slip",
It seemed a sudden blur.

At first I only thought the worse--
That I'd scare you away;
But, of course, you're different from most,
And you told me you loved me that day.

Since then I'm further overjoyed--
You're always on my mind;
In you I've found a happiness
I nowhere else could find.

You help me with devotions
When questions cross my head;
You stay to talk as long as possible
When it's time to go to bed.

You spur me on to do great things
As we run life's race together;
I'm glad to do the same for you--
We make one another better.

You worry how I'm feeling,
You call it "checking in"--
It doesn't go unnoticed,
My expression of thanks I can't begin!

You make me feel I'm special,
You call me special names,
You've had a strong affect on me--
I'll never be the same.

I can't express in words today
The way I'd wish to do.
But please be sure, my darling love,
With all my heart, I love you!
