In the silence of a gentle evening..

Dear Beautiful,

What is "somewhere" if your heart isn't there too..

Once the whirl of my day winds down, and I notice how empty my room is, how empty car rides seem back and forth to places I have no desire to be, how empty my heart feels without the one and only person to ever fill it..

Without you, I feel lost and confused

It's not this place, it's not the places I've lived in, nor the places I've visited..

It's me

You have so quickly become the light to my eyes, that without your glimmer, I fear they cease to see true beauty in all they gaze upon...

Here in this quiet place, I feel more alone then I ever have

I know over time I'll again adjust to your absence..and be "ok" in waiting once again for a moment to see your sweet face

But for now, for tonight, the rest of me waits to see you here again

Sweetheart, I will always wait, patiently, joyfully, until I can hold you in my arms again

Until I can kiss your lips and wish you into dream filled sleep..I will wait

How much I love you can't be measured...how much I care can't be contained

I always will, my lovely Katie -- for the rest of my life

I am yours

I am yours

I am yours...

Forever
