WE MET

This is being written from my heart so I don’t know where it will take me or even if I can do justice to what it is my heart wants to say for it has recently felt such joy and beauty in the very depths of my soul and the complete and utter pain of having to leave that beauty behind but I will do my best.

 as I left my home to go where I have never been there was fear
as I boarded the plane to go where my heart lead there was fear
as I flew ever closer to where my heart wanted to be there was fear
as I landed at my hearts destination there was hope but there was still fear
as I waited at the airport for that first glimpse of my hearts desire there was fear
as I walked by my love while trying to find her there was fear

out of the air I heard my name and it was the sound of angels singing my welcome
out of the air a wondrous sight appeared and stole what was left of my heart
out of my heart came the cry to my head how can anything this beautiful love me
out of my eyes came the tears fore to look upon her there was no room for fear
out of my heart the fear had left to be replaced with the only thing that could be
I love you please stay with me

We embraced my heart trying to take in all that was her
we embraced and my heart wanted to scream out is this real
we embraced and the tears flowed
we embraced and my heart cried out ..please stay I love you

we kissed and my heart nearly exploded
we kissed and my lips wondered how could anything truly feel this wonderful
we kissed and my lips could taste the sweetness that is her
we kissed and my heart cried out ..please stay I love you

we walked hand in hand and my heart wondered and awed at her beauty
we walked hand in hand and my heart would not allow my eyes to stray from her
we walked hand in hand and my mind raced..how could she be this beautiful
we walked hand in hand and time stood still ... please stay I love you

as we left the airport we kissed and hugged smiled and cried
as we left the airport I knew my love had found a home
as we left the airport my heart said farewell to the midwest
as we left the airport my heart cried out ... please let me stay with you

at her car I found some cards she had purchased for me
at her car I read the most tender of thoughts I have ever read they were from her
at her car I cried
at her car she asked what I was thinking I said look at my eyes and see
at her car she said I love you too

the next days were a mixer of joy and pain
the next days my love grew and grew
the next days I suffered loneliness when she wasn’t there
the next days I wanted to cry in joy when she would appear
the next days I knew I could never really leave

how do you describe what the heart sees and feels
how do you describe the beauty of the lights of a city sparkling in my loves eyes
how do you describe the joy of hearing her pride in her city
how do you describe the love and joy my heart felt at the sound of each sigh
how do you describe the pleasantry that is the laughter of angels
how do I say ...I love you please let me stay

our last night my heart knew it was home
our last night the moon could be seen on the ocean and in my loves eyes
our last night we pestered a crab
our last night we walked hand in hand
our last night we prayed it would never have to end
our last night my heart will never forget

saying good by we tried to say so much we missed to say before
saying good by she wanted to see me smile
saying good by all I could do was cry
saying good by I wanted to scream why god why ...please let me stay
saying good by all I knew was my heart was being left behind
saying good by still has me crying

at the airport all I could think of was finding my way back to her
at the airport I looked for every face hoping one would be hers
at the airport I prayed she would show and tell me its okay you can stay

getting on the plane I still prayed for that reprieve
getting on the plane I still prayed to see her face at least one more time
getting on the plane the tears flowed freely
getting on the plane has left me in pain

on the way home my heart began to lighten
on the way home I could smell her scents taste her lips hear her laughter
on the way home I could feel something I never thought I would even remember
on the way home I felt the gentle kiss of my loves lips on my cheek

right now I am crying harder than I thought was possible
right now my heart is missing everything about her
right now I know I love her
right now I know I will find my way back to her
right now my heart is saying .... I love you please let me stay

at this point you may wonder where this will all go and in truth I don’t know but what I do know is this ....I love her and the time we have spent together was more precious than any I have every spent and no matter what tomorrow brings to me it will not steal from me what she gave and what I have locked in my heart for all eternity... from my heart to you my love...I love you please let me stay?
