You Are My Reason

I catch my breath in awesome wonder
When you turn your face toward me,
And when you smile your priceless smile
I can feel my heart skip a beat.

Your voice is like a heavenly melody
Drifting sweetly on a dream,
And with its beauty echoing in my ears,
My soul takes flight on gossamer wings.

Your kindness warms my frozen heart
Like a gentle southern breeze;
And the light of your laugh dispels the darkness
That had brought me to my knees.

You are my light, my joy, my love, my hope,
My every reason to be;
From the binding chains of a broken heart,
You have set my soul free.

Hi, all my dear, dear, poetic friends! I am so sorry that I have been away for so long! I haven't even had time to write, I have been tied down at work so much lately. But I just wanted you to know that I have missed each and every one of you, and you know I couldn't stay away from my second "home" on Valentine's Day!
Besides, there is someone special in the picture, now, and I think that this repost is very appropriate...........

(Now, look, I can't tell just yet!

I'll be honest. Your poem is wonderful, but I came to check this out because of your name. My ex-boyfriend's name is Terry W. We just broke up a day before our anniversary, the 13th, a day before Valentine's Day. Nice, huh? Your poem was beautiful, by the way. And now I'm off to go post my break up poem. *SIGH*

So you wrote the poem before you met the inspiration? *S* There's a great line in The Firm that goes something like "I've loved you all my life... Before I even met you, I loved the promise of you." This is great, Terry... and I hope you find much happiness in your promise fulfilled. *S*
