i could have waited for a holiday
with roses, champagne, over-priced cards
but my love, my feelings for you
don’t keep track of the days, but rather
go on and on and on and on in
a comfortable rythmn of foreveruntildeath
do us part. so let me take this moment
(there are never enough of them)
to remind you and only you (oh and also them)
that you are my one true love
the only one fit for the mundane and the magnificent
moments of our daily lives. you
the bringer of morning coffees and the
always helping hand; you do more than
i could ever ask and even when i don’t remember
to say thank you verbally, i hope you know
i think it every day. and that even when my
words are not always good at saying the right things
when it’s the right time, my heart
never stops thanking you and thanking
god that you are mine. so please know that
even though i was prompted to write this
for a silly meme that my feelings for you
are not silly at all but truly truly true.
(okay maybe they are a little bit silly, but
come on – this is ME we’re talking about).
i love you!

Nice. I can never right serious sounding poetry like this. I’m jealous!

I love that every time you write of Dan you write in such glowing terms. Way better than the chocolate my Hubby is getting.

Such a sweet post. I hope your DH reads this 🙂 I’m with you – I’d rather have the moments of our every day lives than celebrating one day out of the year.

Awww…you are right. It is so important to tell them how important they are to us and how much we love them even on days without chocolate and hearts and roses.
(In fact, I would rather my money count elsewhere on another day)!
