From You

I woke this morning
my arms around you
feeling you , not next to me
but as one WITH me

Not knowing where
you end and I begin
One heart, One mind
One thought, One soul

The words "I Love You"
are not enough to express
the emotion between us
Beyond what we thought could be

Happiness, redefined
as what we knew before
pales to what IS
Not just affection...

More than respect
More than content
More than tolerance
More than the romance

Of two people who knew
the dark side of love
So much that it clouded
expectations and dreams

Disappointments and heartache
seemed to rule the world
until now, until you, until me
when we are as one

Eyes meeting, smiles wide
no doubts that the love
we have is real and forever
With forever seeming too soon

The moment neverending
and yet...
end it does
as I truly awake

to an empty bed,
an empty heart
an empty soul
you are not there

It was a dream
the same as the last
Makes me want to sleep
to be together again

To fill my bed
To fill my heart
To fill my soul
with the love

...from you
