Amazing Strength

Some say that strength is a product of survival; do the same thing enough times and you will grow stronger. Others believe that strength is about power and brawn. It is something that is adapted, polished and acquired.

I say that strength, is what I find in you. The constant reminder that I am not alone and that I can conquer anything that opposes me. You are my strength. The lessons of determination and endurance. The constant reminder that there is a light at the end of the tunnel. The sign of things to come. The feeling of hope which resounds through me when I look in your eyes is a reminder that I can surpass any adversity and find my way to the end of the journey; knowing that you will be by my side.

Beauty of your Face

With dark dark-brown hair framing your face, your eyes stare into mine and I am captivated. Bound in the depths of your beauty. I memorize the way your cheekbones arch around the lower frame of your eyes. I have memorized the length of your eyes lashes, and the way they crul up to your brow when you smile. I have become accustom to wrinkle which cascade down your forhead when you are angry, and I have taken a mental picture of your dimples caving into your cheeks as they pull your beard tightly across the cleft of your chin.

The beauty of your face encourages me as each new smile touches my heart in a new way. Never before could a face of such beauty stop me in my tracks until you. No other face was worth remembering. No othe name shall stream from my lips on the wings of love. For it's you which has made me a new woman.

Definition of Love

I see you, sitting there across the cafe, sipping on a cup of joe, unaware that you are in my eyesight. You captivate me. You remind me of all things wonderful in this world. Your beauty illuminates that blue walls around you with a hue of enticement, yet we sit in silence.

19 years of mishaps and broken promised have all led to this, I love you.

How do you define that? How do you define a word that symbolizes all the emotions you've unlocked from my heart? I define it by this feeling; simple, unrefined, endless, which has unlocked the secrete chambers of my heart and freed me to see you in the light of a fresh day.

I define love not as an emotion but as a eternal light which you've shined into my life. Your love will never leave me. Your love will never be denied. You are a part of my heart, my soul, even my mind. You're the best of me and the best of what is yet to come, and it's all because of your love.
