To my love,

It started with a timid hello,
both too frightened to try,
Resistance was tough, times were hard,
the walls seemed just too high,
but through a crack, the mind explored, its possibility,
of turning the back on what once was and what we shouldn't be.

Our lives were steeped in cloaks of pain,
hurt from wounds long past,
we found comfort in kindred souls,
to reflections in a looking glass,

we reached out to each other,
knowing we were alone,
we felt it there, and knew at once,
our souls sang the same tone.

But honor ruled our protected hearts,
we couldn't be together,
but a fateful night we both were freed
winds blew the changing weather.

We leaped off the cliff of what was past,
embracing as we met that day,
from then to now has changed so much,
My love grows every day.

I know we might not see eye to eye,
and sometimes words get crossed,
but the compassion we've shown, when times got hard,
strengthen our love, despite the cost.

I love you more today, my dear,
then I loved you yesterday,
and tomorrow I'll love you more, my dear
no matter what comes today.

You're my hope, and solitude,
my home, that brings me peace,
I know you'll always be here for me,
my loving wife, Sherece.
