Hey everyone. I almost feel like this one is the...precursor to another. I don't think I'm finding the right words, but I'm trying. Until I do, here's my best.

I love you, Sara...thank you for letting your love wash over me once again.

“Washing Over Me”


Cover me
In this refreshing spring
This water rushes over me
Inspiring me to take a chance
On a love that could be so beautiful if upheld in the light
Encouraging us to no longer walk the path of night

Cherish me
In the simple truths, the thoughtful touch
It’s in these little ways that you love so much
It’s amazing what your voice arises in me
Faith, hope, dreams, only things of beauty

Embrace me
Because your arms hold the answers
To every question about unconditional love
I just want to get wrapped up in this small space
Hold you, love you, and remember the way your lips taste

Open me
For my heart wants to wash over you
Experience the depth of my love and know it won’t change
I’ve always been here, I always will be
The choice, the answer was always clear
It’s forever been and forever will be you, my dear.

I love you, Kerida. I get exactly what you're trying to say. Believe me, the feeling's mutual.

*goofy grin* Hehehe, Kerida, hehehe... *cough* don't mind me.

I love you too, beautiful. Whew, I'm glad you're following...since as you know I struggled to get this particular one out... but it was just the precursor for the one I didn't have to fight for. And I'm so glad that the feeling's mutual...you don't know how glad I am. I'm still waiting for someone to pinch me... but PLEASE, no one pinch me! I'm way too happy! Hehehe.

I love you, darlin'. *smooooch*

This poem feels slightly Middle English to me. Almost like it has been written by a Count to his Lady love.

Particularly this part:

The choice, the answer was always clear
It’s forever been and forever will be you, my dear.

It reminds me of lines from one of Shakespeare's sonnets:

So long as men can breathe or eyes can see,
So long lives this, and this gives life to thee.

*busts out laughing* Oh my GOSH, I need to go take a nap. I'm all over the place. Argy, I first read that as, "This poem feels slightly Middle East to me." And I was like, "What the heck?!?" and then I reread it and understood. LOL, good Lord I need to sleep, lol.

Ooh, you're right, it does kinda sound Shakespeare-like there. Hmm... it's very possible. I know I felt a little awkward writing it, like um... the voice wasn't coming out exactly as "mine" perse. So that makes a lot of sense.

Thanks for the reply, Argy. lol, and I *did* write a better one but I wanted that one to be just for my girl to see. But the better one does exist! lol
