I love you
Despite yourself right now
Even though at times
You think I don’t
And sometimes I wonder too
We have lived and learned
At least I hope

I’m truly sorry I can’t
Do exactly what you want
When you want it
The way you want it
But I am trying and
I am me, after all
And I am still the one
You fell in love with
All those years ago

The one that soothed you
Back when you wanted it
The one who protected you
Or at least made you feel safe
The one you confided in
Told your deepest secrets
The one you dreamed with
And the one that helped you make life

All that I ask from you
For all my years of “toil”
Are for many, many more
To show you even more
The sincere depth
The wondrous warmth
The miracle that is
My Love

Lets Love one another and let God do the worrying,
Rodney

Well Star...we are currently separated and she isn't "in the mood to be lovey-dovey" and so I will wait to show it to her. I am hoping and praying that the time will be short until I have her in my arms again. But patience is not something I am known for...hence my earlier diatribe on "time"...lol...thank you for the kind words...Rod

Lets Love one another and let God do the worrying,

Rodney, this one tugs at the heartstrings. Youur love for her is obvious in every line. I wish you the best, and hope that she will accept the love you offer with such tenderness.

Good message and given the circumstances you revealed in your follow-up post this must have been both a difficult and cathartic thing to write.  I hope things work for you to where you can read it to her and she will accept and receive it.
