Reflection of Love Instead of someone else's words written from someone else's heart I took time to remember those special moments daily lovin' unnoticed all the little things you do for me each day It's not the great sacrifices that make your love special it's those tender looks unexpected embraces playful little hugs and gentle kisses that keep my heart hopelessly yours Thirty-five years have blown through corridors of our lives sometimes blowin' like a hurricane then gentlin' down we find strength in each other kissin' our hearts soothin' our frustration love we couldn't find alone I'm sorry, dear, for all the days I tried to make it on my own afraid to trust the warmth of your touch afraid to let go surrendering 'me' to 'us' Lost in our passion fear still rises after all these years threatening my dreams telling me you'll never look past the veneer of my insecurity to love me completely Then I look into your eyes to see our hope reflected there love shinin' more brightly more deeply then it did the day we pledged to share our love forever |
Additional Notes:
I wrote this for the only love of my life--the man I married 35 years ago today. He likes to keep it simple and to the point--nothing too profound. (: I made an anniversary card from this piece and the tenderness in his eyes when he read it, silently said all I needed. He doesn't mind me sharing it and perhaps it will remind someone else of the simplicity of love--sometimes taken for granted.
