From The Start
Amy M. Kennedy

From day one I knew you were special
And that you were the one
Something in my heart told me
That magic had begun

I think you not know
The exact effect you've had on me
But it is my intention
With this poem to make you see

You are like an angel
Certainly a gift from God above
And when I think of you
My heart swells with pride and love

Perhaps it’s the simple things
That make me feel this way
I only know pure and simple
I fall harder every day

You are my treasured friend
And passionate lover all rolled into one
Without you I am nothing
But with you my life has begun

They say everyone has a soul mate
That special person who grabs your heart
I have known that you were mine
Think I have from the start

An abundance of emotion
Comes to the surface when I think of you
And I can say with all honesty
Without you in my life, I don't know what I'd do

You fill my day with gladness
And chase my blues away
You make me feel special
In ever single way

Right now life is hard
And the path is unclear
But when I think of us apart
My heart breaks as I shed a tear

Life has taught me many things
Some lessons have been tough
But I've never met a person
Who I've ever loved so much

You stole my heart from day one
And refused to let it go
And now I think its time
I think you need to know

Forever you will have me
Never shall I depart
You have me completely
Soul, mind, body and heart

Best friends we started
And it just grew from there
I never realized how much I'd love you
Or how much I'd come to care

I'm sorry for any pain
I may have ever caused you
'Twas not my intention
I know you don't blame me but in some ways I do

What if I had never kissed you?
On that fateful day
What if I had continued to bottle my feelings?
Would things be this way?

I shudder to think of life
Without you by my side
You are everything I'll ever want
A constant like the tide

You complete me
In ways I can't begin to say
And forever I shall love you
Come whatever may

Please do not give up on us
I think you know in your heart
We were destined as one
From the very start

Amy-girl*
This is a treasure...the love in your heart
overflows in this piece and your pureness
shines in every line.  Beautiful work...and
any love meant to be is worth fighting
for...and if it's meant to be...then it WILL
be~

What a beautiful write as you lay your heart out for the world to see.  Tis true what Holly said, if it is a true love then it is worth fighting for and if it is meant to be then it is meant to be....just don't play with the fate of things....walk in it's promise in your knowing what is to be oneday.

Amy, This is beautiful, as I've said before, you write your heart, and you do it wonderfully. Take care of yourself Amy, you see I can spell your name , it's just that one of my oldest friends is called Amie, and I think of you both as the same.
So if it's alright with you Amie may I continue to spell it incorrectly.
