LOVE

Well here it is

4 AM and I

am wakeful

and I sit pondering

it all

and you

sleep soundly

lost in a dreamers' embrace

and I could sit and watch your face

forever

for you are mine

and I am yours

whatever that means

for we are twined together

with love and strings

and all the other little things

that bind and hold

all the things that go untold

and we exist in a togetherness

I never dreamed I'd find

a place of laughter, love and gentleness

a calm and peaceful state of mind

for you are generous and kind

and you love me despite my many flaws

foibles and inconsistencies

and I love you the same way

for you were meant for me

and I found you

despite all my mistakes and misguided

attempts at love
