dear husband

     
you're masculine & strong
hard as nails tough
yet still soft
you love me with a deep understanding
when others would run
 
you met me straight out of the psych ward
lost in a world so big
with no one,
not a soul to turn to
 
the gods said my husband was there
right around the corner, up the street
that we were about to cross paths
 
then i met you
the most handsome man
i'd ever seen
dark hair
with eyes that kissed the sky sexy
 
you had a Texas drawl
slow & easy
easing me in my deep anxiety
 
we were feeling each other's heat
burning with a passion
the sexual attraction was intense
i wanted you like no other man
 
we became close friends
i was so unsure of myself
but you were sure of us
right from the beginning
 
when i failed to commit
we parted for a time
it was the loneliest period of my life
because i'd lost my best friend
 
the gods told me we'd be together
i said ha we're not even speaking
but the fates blessed me
& you were returned on bended knee
 
you've seen me at my best
& my lowest too
 
like a soldier at his post
you've protected & guarded me
your love shines on my soul
it's the sunrise on my heart
 
dear husband i love you
