FOR TWO YEARS

For two years we have dated,
For two years I have waited,
For two years I have known,
That you're the woman I want to call my own,
For two years you've loved and cherished,
For two years we have grown and flourished,
For two years I have cared, protected and been,
The kind of man that you had never before seen,
For two years we alone have known,
The fire of love that simmered and which no one could be shown,
And now as I am on a bended knee,
Looking into your beautiful eyes staring back at me,
Although with the flick of a tear,
I know you have no fear,
That this man you've come to call boo,
This man you tell I love you and never fails to say he loves you too...
Will not leave nor disappoint you,
And as I pop the question,
Before God I make the declaration,
That at His altar I'll make a covenant...
With Him, with you and each congregant,
To love you like Christ has loved us,
And to respect...protect...provide...so I might,
Be your knight,
And shining armour....till death!

MORE THAN LOVE

When we first met I thought,
That you were beautiful.
But then I spoke to you,
And that is when I found,
Your personality,
Your loving, caring soul
Is more beautiful than
A crisp winter sunrise.

Hooked on every quaint word,
Passion fell from your lips,
Yearning to understand,
Enticing mind and soul,
And there I fell.

Into an unfortunate state of love sickness.
You will not leave my thoughts,
May it be day or night,
Slamming on my mind’s door,
Preventing me from sleep,
And when I fall asleep,
You’re there within my dreams.

But I don’t mind at all.
For every time I see you
My stomach flips ten-fold,
Butterflies flutter by,
And then I fall again.

But it hurts when you’re not here,
And I can’t hold you close,
Play with your gorgeous hair,
Kiss your luscious, soft lips,
Gaze at your brown eyes,
That every time gaze back in the same way.

Your smile has many smiles,
Your cheeky, tight-lipped smirk,
Your radiant, laughing smile,
Your charming, knowing smile,
These I appreciate,
And then I fall again.

When absent for a while
I start to persuade myself,
That I will be just fine!
But then I see you there,
And love hits like a crashing wave,
I struggle to hold back,
My longing to tell you,
That I have never felt this way,
Never so in love,
Never found someone so infuriating yet,
Never wanted to be apart.
Never have I felt,
Such a desire to protect,
And look after someone,
As badly as I want to protect and look after you.

Like a wolf for his family,
I’d give everything I have for you.
For you to look at me,
With the same desire,
The same burning passion,
That will not stop raging,
Within my heart.
Happy Valentine’s!
