Years in love
Two decades and I've come to know the meaning of love. Love as how it was revealed to me, love as how it came to be. How one can show such defining love remains a mystery-- going beyond expectations and making dreams reality. I give thanks for letting me recognize love the first time. My heartbeat counting down, adding up to the sum of all things sublime. I give thanks for teaching me how to love selflessly. How to relish contentment in making your loved one happy. I give thanks for your presence packaged in comfort and peace. For being in reach amidst skies and seas. I give thanks for surrounding me in the absence of fear. For securing me in the knowledge that you'll always be near. I give thanks for the arguments, passion and care disguised. Thus opening me up to perceive in other peoples' eyes. I give thanks for the heartbreaks that split more than my heart into a million pieces. For I am able to rebuild myself allowing more things and new people to fit into the spaces. I give thanks for letting me grow into the person I came to be. Growing in love with life and living and people around me. Especially for that one person who has been here, is still here, and will be here with me.. When I lost faith in the world, when I was lost in my way, I thank you for finding me and showing me how you know love should mean to be (times infinity). xx AJT
