Love At Last

by justafan

There have been many in my life
That I thought held the key to my happiness
Alcoholics, womanizers, abusers ...the lot

Was on the edge of giving up …on finding real love
Then there was you
Soft, caring and filled with honesty.

That word,“honesty” was foreign to me
Coming from any man
But, you lived it

Love from you was honest
To be trusted
By my heart

I remember when I knew
I loved you
Almost to the very second

I was lying beside you
My head on your chest
Listening to your heartbeat ...

I raised my head
Looked into
Those gorgeous blue eyes

Saying, with every ounce of my being
While my fingers traced
The outline of your heart

“I wish I could crawl
Right here ...inside your heart
Stay forever, where I know I will be safe”

There are a lot of pretenders in this world
But you my love, are the real deal
I'm blessed to know
you are
mine
