To My Beloved From an Aching Heart
What appeared as lust, in the beginning, grew into a passion over time.
What started out as protectiveness is now devotion.
What began as an appreciation of you has grown into respect.
What dawned as affection has warmed into tenderness.
Without asking I gave you all of me.
Without asking I gave you my fidelity.
And yet again, without asking, I let you go.
Without asking I gave you something that I didn’t know I had to give.
Love.
I have proven my trustworthiness by always being there with you, even if only in spirit.
I have shown you my integrity by saving people from themselves and each other regardless of the personal cost.
I have shown you my true heartedness over the many, many years in many, many ways.
A touch, a sigh, a conversation, a cry.
How many times have I received your arms as you showed me great tenderness?
As cheesy as it may be, we were made for each other.
We’ve always moved in tandem like ballroom dancers.
