For Someone Special

A harsh word, a pained tear,
The ache of a breaking heart.
That question abounds, do I matter at all?
The tome of a dying star.

The sting of rejection, the pit of despair,
The torturous throb for regret,
The hole in your chest where you heart once lived,
Drowned in a sea of neglect.

I know you’ve felt it, I’ve felt it too,
Never quite being enough.
Then having the grit to call it a day,
To call life out on its bluff.

There is power in memory, or so I am told,
It gives us the strength to move on.
To find something better, to find something new,
To grasp that you did nothing wrong.

So onward and upwards, or that’s what they say,
Look to horizons anew.
Imagine my shock and wonder then girl,
When on my horizon, was you.

And now that you love me, that my heart beats with hope,
I look to the future with pride.
To have you, to love you, to be loved in return,
To feel you right here by my side.

I can’t even tell you how happy I am,
Or how special you are in my eyes.
There are not enough words to flatter your soul,
And that’s coming from someone who tries.

I could talk of your beauty or humour,
Tell the world of your wit, charm and wiles.
But nothing compares to the feeling I get,
Just seeing one of your smiles.

It’s more than attraction; I know that.
And never again will I try,
To put into words how my heart swells,
When I look at those beautiful eyes.

But its time to tell you, in the most certain of terms,
before my words are all through.
No ifs or buts, not one shred of doubt,
You have all of me and I love you.

For my lady, you know who you are. If we are together for the next 6 months or the next 50 years, not a day will pass without me telling you.
