The gifts should signal the story of love being told,
And not merely be paper, silver, diamonds or gold
One: A Pinch
To wake me from the dream where no one is happier than I
To bring back the reality that love like this does not exist
To show that my love for you could not be so perfect
Two: A megaphone
To tell the world how perfect this love feels
To share with others what joy being in love can be
To shout for all to hear that I have found forever in you
Three: Memories of you
To get me through this year I must spend out of my life
To show me every day the beauty and the love I’ll return to
To bring a smile to my face when I want only to cry
Four: Strength
To help us get to know each other again, after ages apart
To remind us that we are soul mates, always meant to be
To prove that our love can survive any test or any ordeal
Five: A baby
To break the wall growing between us, dissecting our love
To make us whole again, and give us a life experience to share
To keep alive a fire once so large, now smothering with indifference
Six: Life in a new land
To bring adventure to this life we are settling for
To bring excitement to the silence we are living in
To awaken romance that has slept for so long
Seven: The right words
To tell you I don’t know what is happening to us
To beg this distance between us to stop growing
To show I still see forever with you when I close my eyes
Eight: Your laugh
To let it ring in my ears once again, after so long
To remind me how it feels for you to laugh with me
To see your face light up again, because we are together
Nine: A beacon
To bring my heart, long wandering, back to shore
To show me there is nothing to search for, it’s all here at home
To chase away the cold of being adrift in a vast, lonely sea
Ten: A miracle
To make a blind man see the beauty he ignores every day
To make me hear your silent begging for the love we once had
To bring back that man so young and nieve ,and also wise and sweet about love
Eleven: A new heart
To replace this one shattered by neglecting my love
To heal the pain that tears like thorns into my very soul
To build again a love that is bigger than both of us
And
Eleven: A pinch
To prove that once again, no one is happier than I
To show that this love is once again new and strong
To show that even more so than the day our eyes first met,
I see in you my dreams, my hopes and the rest of my life
