A Reminder

by Garrett - Virgo

A Reminder

Never forget the nights of self-imposed solitude,
just waiting for her to come along.
Remember the days that you spent alone,
faithful to the fact that she was out there somewhere.

Ask her with the rise of each morning sun
what you can do to make her feel happy and alive.
Get on your knees in the dusk to thank your God,
and humbly beg him for just another day.

Touch her cheek on your way out the door,
and apologize for being away for even just one hour.
Stroke her hair gently as she lies in your arms,
and let her sleep peacefully through the dawn.

Surprise her each day with something new,
showing her you appreciate the love she gives.
Give her the space she wants if she asks,
but do not hesitate if she needs you to hold her close.

Jump at the chance to do with her something silly,
never taking yourself more seriously than her.
Live each minute with her as though it were your last,
and pray inside that moment never comes.

Give her everything you can, and then just a little more,
and hope she knows that she's everything in your world.
Revere her body, as you make love to her in the night,
and let her know there's no place you'd rather be.

Attempt to give her all of the ecstasy she deserves,
never being too proud to let her show you how.
Never let her question what she means to you,
and never make her ask you for your love.

Always thank her for choosing to be with you,
never letting her doubt the way you feel.
And if she gives you just half the chance,
never look back.  Love her until the end of time

Reason for writing:

    Something I wrote to myself when I finally had the woman of my dreams...
