I Bet You Know I Love You…

image

So, I bet you know I love you,
Though I rarely do say why…
It could be the sound of your breath in the morning;
It could simply be that you’re mine.

Perhaps it’s the way you look at me sideways,
Mystery deep in your eyes….
The playful glint you hold inside
Never fails to mesmerize.

When you hold my hand so tightly,
When your arms around me set,
When I breath your scent in deeply,
These moments I know for certain, I never could forget.

When you put a ring on my finger,
When you spoke my full new name,
When you’re nestled deep within me,
Living never felt the same.

I’m so blessed that you’re beside me,
Grateful and I’m lucky, too.
Please, Taitah, never forget,
I love you!
