you're still sleeping
I'm wide awake
I sit here awaiting you
twenty plus years
still, I find myself missing you
 
I look forward to you waking
my handsome man
age sixty almost sixty one
and devastatingly sexy
 
though that's not the best parts of you
your devilish good looks the ladies deeply desire
the men all envy
you keep the best of you for me
your lady
 
life has seen my beauty fade and turn grey
you see the beautiful woman you married
your best friend
a soul bright and shining
merged as one with yours
 
my protector and guard
you walk with me through life
yes in front of me
so the world can cause me no harm
 
the world lies sleeping
and so do you
I can't wait to see you today
it's like the first day we met
 
I knew something exceptional was going to happen
just before we lay eyes on each other
then fate whispered in my ear he's the one
 
yes I doubted in the beginning  
and almost pushed you away
you proved yourself through friendship
two halves became a whole
 
an awesome lover  
so tender and attentive
I love you...
will love you forever  
 
my dear husband
