This Love

I've never known such warmth

As the warmth found in your arms

Your smile as you kiss me

The beating of your heart

The way you call me beautiful 

Your breath upon my lips

Every dream I've ever had

Could not compare to this

Your eyes so tender, soft and sweet

I'm amazed at every turn

I've never known such gentleness

But with every touch I learn

For years I only wished for this

Now the moment's finally come

My hopes and dreams could never match

The truth behind this love

 

Well... I'm back.... And I soooo... don't want to be.  I am coming off the best week of my life and reality right now seems like a slap in the face.  I spent the most fabulous week with the love of my life and though I've always known we would end up here.... the fact that that time has finally come is so much to take in.  See when we dated before, it was in secret, it was passion and heat and quick rendezvous', which don't get me wrong... there was a lot of fun in that but this is so much different... so much better... To wake up beside him, to go out for breakfast with him, to spend hours by his side and get to know who he really is.... these are things I never had much opportunity for in the past.  As my best friend Stella says "I'm screwed," because I loved him long before I knew how truly gentle and sweet and wonderful he really was... now I am distracted to the point of confusion and here I sit at my desk... four hours away... trying to focus on things that have no connection to the monumental change that is taking place in my life.  I fear I will be mostly useless for the next 10 weeks until I can be closer to him.  Useless.... but happy.
