Your soft, warm skin responds to the touch of my fingertips;
eyes widen and lips swell in anticipation.
Knowing that you love my touch just as I desire your closeness
is an end in itself, my raison d’etre.
Lifting you in my arms, holding your lithe form close,
You look into my eyes and kiss me back ...
I understand the true joy of a couple in love.
Bringing you happiness fills my heart,
increases my need to share our secrets and intimate pleasures.
Together or apart, near or far ...
know that I love the essence that is you.

Someone stole my heart.
Someone understanding;
kind;
loving.
From the first, he touched my soul.
I knew then that this man
would be a special part of my life.
His values, his laughter, his caring ...
come from a wellspring of truth and loving guidance.
The man that I love is living testimony
to all who helped and supported him
as he became the person that he is today.
As we grow through life together,
I will remember and respect those values --
holding them close just as we love one another.
Your loving acceptance of us and our joining
have made the thought of our lives together
all the more joyful.
Thank you for bringing me my love.
