My girlfriend asked for my help in an assignment for her class... I tried to help and thinking of how much I missed her, this is what came about...

The morning slowly brings the light
Chasing away the darkness
Laying the moon to rest
As the sun begins to rise
Waking from my gentle slumber
Joyous of the day before me
Loving this wonderful feeling
of having you next to me
Hating to leave this
beautiful moment behind

Remembering the moments of old
Each feeling seeming brand new
For the longest time
I have felt only pain and sorrow
But now, happiness and joy
Engulf my entire being
Holding you in my arms
Not wanting to let you go
Looking into your beautiful eyes
I tell you how much I love you
And how much you mean to me

I remember almost drowning
In the sea of turmoil
Then suddenly feeling you
Slowly pull me to shore
Saving me from certain death
Breathing new life into my being
My heart was once cold as ice
then you slowly ignited the fire within me

My heart belongs to you my love
You have given me the courage
To face my fear, my inner demons
I know you will always be by my side
No matter how bad things may be
When loneliness seems to take its toll
When my friends all gone
I know deep in my heart
That I will always have you
My love, my best friend

Fear destroys the mind, depression destroys the soul... only love and compassion may save you from death.

You've written of the power of touch another can have on us ...
and we can have on another.

Very convincingly written.
