Happy Valentines Day My Love



About a month ago I posted a few lines from Shakespeare and added Erika's name into the stanza's. Well one of our friends commented about how I should have waited till Valentines day to do that because how was I going to top Shakespeare. First off, every day is valentines day when you live with your valentine; and second, there is a way to top Shakespeare, and that is my own words. So here they are.

7 years ago on this very day I sat next to you. -
No ornament or symbol graced your tender finger,
No child honored you with the tittle of mother.
No infant radiated love from the comfort of your arms. -
No none of these things were there, it was just you and me.
But with my hand in yours, our shoulders side-to-side,
I looked into your eyes and right there I knew.
I saw it all, passion and obsession, two lives confused as one.
The personification of love and happiness.
A life of laughter, and play. -
A gift to us of which we had no right to believe in - or even hope for.
But it was there, I knew - I saw it in your eyes.
Seven years ago I knew that all I needed in this life was you.
Thank you for that gift.
I Love you.
