For My Love....

Testament

For years I searched
never really believing
in what I hoped to find.
A kindred spirit.
Someone to love and cherish;
one who could fill the void inside me.

They came and went
with momentary excitement
and hollow laughter.
Yet through it all,
the shadow of loneliness
was my only companion;
The one constant in life.

And then you appeared;
seemingly from nowhere
with beautiful poetry
and words of encouragement.
You're presence becoming
a soothing caress to my soul.
Healing my hidden wounds
and tearing down the walls
which I thought necessary
for emotional survival.

How does one describe
the wonderful difference
between night and day?
You're love for me
is something I've never known.
Illuminating my universe
and banishing the darkness
that trapped me for so long;
Giving me life with meaning
instead of merely existing.

These simple words I write
cannot convey what I feel;
The happiness, nor the depth.
God! The unbelievable passion
that consumes me!

This is my testament to us,
and my simple letter of love
to you who completes me
and turns my every moment
into a precious memory.

Loving you is my passion
You are my rock, my anchor
and my safe harbor;
My haven from the storms
that batter our existence.

And as we explore our new life
You will find me be by your side.
watching; protecting; and sheltering.
Walking with you when you are strong;
carrying you when you are weak;
And loving you with total abandon.

This is absolutely wonderful Gary.  You've put your heart out in the open for all to see.  The love that you write about sounds so beautiful - the kind of love that all seek but few find.

Wow, Gary! I can feel a lot of emotion put into these words you've written...I think this is an excellent testament to that special someone...the fact that I've finally found mine makes it that much more special to me. Great job!
