You brought life to me When the dark held me tight And once it set me free I knew my feelings for you were right

You sheltered me from the cold And every promise came true From your first words I was sold But for all eternity I will love you

You held me when I cried And never asked me why Without you in my life I would have died But now I have no reason to try

Your smile takes me back to a simpler time When our love was new I couldn't wait to tell the world you were mine Even though because of gossip.. they already knew

Maybe I just want to thank you For never second guessing this love for me Even when we're gone.. I'll love you Besides... we have all of eternity

Inspired by: Thinking of Thomas and how I felt at the time (other than sick..) Acknowledge; I wrote this less than a hour after the last poem, still had the stomach virus.. but was halfway level headed.
