Day 463 - Surprise

A surprise arrived,
On April eighteen,
Shock ensued,
I couldn't move,
I stared in awe,
My girl I saw,
How did she?
How could this be?

Two months she had planned,
To be with her man,
On his 33rd birthday,
And not a word did she say.
Sneaky? I guess,
But for me it was the best.

Now she is next to me here,
Better than her being there,
I'm such a happy man,
Touching her whenever I can,
This is how life is meant to be,
Love without distance between.

Day 451 - Found You

In a world with so many broken hearts,
Where love doesn't last forever,
And is sometimes never felt at all,
I am thankful to have found you.

Day 450 - Story of Us

It happened out of the blue,
You looked at me, I looked at you.
It was love at first sight, psych!
It was more like, who is this girl?
She's kind of pretty.
I should talk to her,
But I think she's dating that guy.
Boy, she can really throw back Jack,
And she called me out for drinking beer,
I think she might be a bitch.
Turns out she's not,
She thinks my jokes are funny,
She listen to the same music,
She's a bit of a flirt with me,
I think I will play hard to get,
Pretend I'm not interested,
Might as well try something new.
Well, that didn't work,
I just tasted her cigarette lips,
Wondering if she may still be with that guy.
But I will go ahead and walk her home.
Boom! There goes the door in my face.
Well, only one more night anyway, who cares?
I do! I think I'll try even harder tonight.
It works! We keep sneaking away,
Kissing here and kissing there,
Listening to music and sharing stories of life,
As the night goes on, we end up alone,
Twisting and turning between the sheets.
I'm still not sure what it means,
I leave the next day in an afterglow.
I can't get her out of my mind,
I want to see her again, and maybe more.
For months we stay in touch,
Talking, flirting, getting to know us in depth.
It's like she is the female me, weird, I know.
I enjoy every bit of conversation,
I grow to really "like" her.
One night the alcohol brings out the truth,
I let her know I have fallen in love with her.
Now here we are, almost three years passed,
Just the distance of oceans keeping us apart,
Hearts on fire and full of trust,
Still so madly in love,
Waiting on the day we can be together again.
That's the truth.

Day 449 - Searching

I've traveled here,
And traveled there,
Never finding a home.
I never knew the reason,
Why I was always on the move,
Then it crossed my mind.
I was searching for something,
Not an object or place,
An energy that frees the soul.
For some it's a spiritual awakening,
Finding the meaning of life,
For me, it was a heart beating in time with mine.

Day 448 - We Fight

When you find the one,
No matter how far they are,
A fight will ensue,
With nothing getting in your way.
Yes, there'll be pain,
And lonely heartaches,
As they visit you in dreams,
As you think of them every waking minute.
Yes, it will be a hard road,
Long and windy,
All up hill and full of potholes,
But you will keep moving forward,
Inch by inch,
Until the end is in sight.
Crossing the finish line will be so sweet,
A joyous occasion to celebrate,
Happiness the ultimate prize.

Day 447 - Do You Hear That?

Do you hear that?
That's my heart beat,
Happily racing as I think of you.

Day 444 - Thank You

Thank you for loving me with all your heart and soul,
For seeing me for me and making me entirely happy.
I'm by no means perfect, but you make me a better man.

Day 442 - Classic

You're a fine wine,
A Good book,
Perfect in every way,
Something I can't put down.

Day 441 - Mind Lost

Windows closed,
Shades pulled,
Darkness explodes.

Candle lit,
Here I sit,
Quietly alone.

Painted walls,
Down dark halls,
Echo loneliness.

Reckless thoughts,
Mind lost,
What to do?

Rainy night,
Lightning strikes,
I see you.

Pretty face,
Infectious laugh,
Tears fall.

Missing you,
Feeling weak,
Try to sleep.

In dreams,
You're there,
Comfort I need.

Day 440 - Two

If one were two,
I'd wish for you,
To break the silence in this room.

Day 438 - Forever Long

Where do I belong?
In your arms,
Singing songs,
Building love so strong,
It last forever long.
