How can I know you?
I have never seen you.
How can I smell you? I have never touched you.
Yet…without a shadow of a doubt, I can honestly say I love you.
You are…the air I breathe,
You are…the steps I take.
You are…my other half.
I never knew until you came along that I was incomplete
Yet…you…balance…me
Because of you I believe, I have faith, I trust, I love.
You make me strong when I feel weak.
You hold me when I cry, late at night.
Through it all, you…have…never…left me.
With you I feel secure
It is because of you that I have the will, the strength to do the things I am supposed to do.
I am nothing without you.
I must apologize, there are times that without thinking, understanding, knowing, I forget you.
I take you for granted, I abuse and misuse you.
And you are always there with open arms, ready to love me.
You are my love song.
How did I know you? I had never seen you.
How did I smell you? I had never touched you.
Yet…without a shadow of a doubt, I can honestly say I love you.
You complete me.
Those days when I feel less than, you build me up to my rightful place.
A gentleman to the core, you allow me to come to myself.
Those days when I feel inadequate, you make me feel superior.
When the world has thrown me away, I come home to you
And you make me whole again.
You love me past the pain, the hurt, the strife…
You…never…left me
You balance me, complete me.
I come home and you wrap your arms around me.
Without you I am nothing.
It matters not how you look, because I see you.
It matters not your smell, I touch you.
It matters not your face, I love you.
Because I love you, I pray for you.
I cover you, I help to birth your purpose
I support you, I submit to you.
I become who you need
And you allow me to be me
Those days when you feel less than,
I build you up, restore you to your rightful place.
I cover you, you cover me.
How did I know you? I never saw you.
How did I smell you? I never touched you.
Yet, I can honestly say I love you.
