For my Husband

It’s been a long time…

Since I first saw you.

Since I first gazed into your eyes.

Since I first longed to be near you.

Since I first fell in love with you.

Since I first wanted the touch of your lips.

Since I first dreamed of being with you.

Since I first called you my own.

But nothing’s changed…

I want to see you all the time.

I want to drown myself in your eyes.

I long to be near you every second of every day.

I fall in love with you more every day.

I want the touch of your lips even more.

I dream of being with you even when I already am.

I am yours, and you are mine.

Now. Always. Until my very last breath.

It’s been a long time…and we still have a whole lifetime ahead of us.
