The stardust days of imagining what it would be like to be married to you
And we have a daughter and she’s grown to look up to
The man I’ve come to know
As the place my soul will always go
When it’s set on any kind of sea
The true North always anchoring me
And your smile breaks like a wave across your face
When you look at me with eyes that Heaven could not replace
With rays of finest silver and hues of perfect gold
And there’s no story we share that’s ever been told
As we relay in intimacy
The things that have come to be
Mere reflections of each other in the world
And you were just a boy and I was just a girl
We were young and green
And you were only seventeen
But so much older than me in ways
There is an old stone I sit by that sometimes says
It knew you in a former life
And now I hold hands and look at your wife
As she looks on at me
And she’ll have to forgive the moment that we
Share in every single Now
Because like the branch that the tree will bough
You just grow from me
And we weave together eternally
In some kind of shadow that crosses your eyes
And something inside me dies
Every time I see you lost
I collapse as you exhaust
Me with the trauma of a thousand tremoring blows
And only God knows
Where you are now and my old speed dial
Hasn’t reached your number for a while
I pray that you’re okay
And that somehow my words will reach you someday
My love, you are my every answered prayer
And love is knowing that You are there
I love the depth that this has. Reading it FEELS, and the only way I could explain that is through another poem.
