TO MY SWEET, BUT A FEW WISHES!

Grant me forever,

Of  sharing the most intimate details of my deepest, innermost self with you,

Of learning your secrets, your fears, your lifelong dreams,

Of enjoying the little  things about you that make my heart race,

Of how your cologne drives me into a frenzy.

Grant me forever,

Of being beautiful for you,

Of  being  carefree with you,

Of watching you come alive with smiles and laughs when I'm with you,

Of having you look at me with passion, courage, respect, reverence, with love,

Of that look in your eyes that totally disarms me,

Of being the object of your heart’s affection.

Grant me forever,

Of sharing with you my world,

My vulnerabilities, my weaknesses, my tears with you,

Of becoming the singular beauty in the eye of you, the beholder,

Of alternately being livid and delirious over you,

Of watching you try to win me over  with your silly quips and goofy grin

Of smiling despite myself at your sweet efforts.

Grant me forever,

Of laying beside you on your couch,

Or of sitting next to you at our favorite restaurant,

Of looking at you with the deepest adoration one heart can manage,

Of having you wrap your arm around me as I put my head on your strong chest,

Of hearing your thunderous, pounding heartbeat beginning to slow.

Grant me forever,

Of loving you till my heart grows sore from the sheer pleasure of it,

Of being yours in every conceivable meaning of the word,

Of celebrating this gift of love that we undeservedly have been granted,

Of calling you mine,

Way past forever!
