mostly, i think of you on rainy days when thunder claps outside my window

and i remember how comforting your arms were as i snuggled against them.

i can recall the times when you came to my rescue for any number of silly reasons.

yet, you always refused to take no for an answer and you never judged me.

you’d always been my soft place to fall whenever i was blue and just needed a sympathetic ear.

your heart was open and giving and i  never took that part of you for granted.

you made me realize that life really can be good and that happiness wasn’t an illusion.

your touch electrified me and your kisses sent me into an animated world where birds sang to the heavens.

and all of these years later……i know how blessed i am to have found my bliss with you.
