I Love You My Darling

 

~As I watched you sleep in the night

I knew the joy you’ve brought to my life~

~I reminisced the times we’ve had

how you’ve always took away my sad~

~It brought to mind at first we met

a day in my life I’ll never forget~

~Bereaved over my best friend’s demise

hurting so much I can’t begin to emphasize~

~You seen the pain from within my heart

and how it was tearing my soul apart~

~Like an Angel sent from God up above

not knowing me showed me comport and love~

~My pain was deep he was more my brother

more so than if we had the same mother~

~Afraid to cry I held back the tears

then you leaned over and whispered in my ear~

~Go ahead and cry don’t keep it inside

I’m here if you need me I’ll not leave your side~

~You reached over and took me into your grasp

the feeling you gave me was that of aghast~

~With my head on your breast I let out a cry

why in the hell did he have to die~

~You held me tight and said it’s alright

then went with me to my friend’s graveside~

~You stood there holding my hand in your hand

suddenly I began to understand~

~His suffering on this earth had come to an end

when my time comes I’ll see him again~

~You healed my hurt from the pain thereof

and filled my heart for you with love~

~It was then I knew we were meant to be

 you were the road to my destiny~

~Three months latter with marriage on mind

we took a trip to Whispering pines~   

~I asked for your hand and you said yes

of all the days in my life that was the best~

~You’ve given me happiness in every way

it only gets better with each passing day~

           ~I love you my Darling~
