Note: This is the first thing I’ve written and finished in a very long
time. It is pure fluff, but, to be honest, I don’t care – it’s just nice
to be writing again. :-) Let me know what you think, please.

They say your life can change in an instant. They say it will happen when
you least expect it. It took meeting you for me to see the truth in these
old clichés. It took you looking into my eyes for me to believe in
forever.

It took you to touch my face, my body, my heart ... and my soul ... for me
to believe in eternity, simply because I never wanted it to stop. I wanted
that feeling, that exquisite ecstasy, to be never-ending.

You fill me with wonder to this day. There is no place I’d rather be than
by your side, nowhere I’d rather rest at night than next to you, the
reassurance that I will never get closer to perfection than when I lie
awake and watch you relax right there beside me, filling with a feeling of
contentment I would never have known without you in my life.

I am nothing without you; nothing but a restless being searching the
Universe for somewhere, anywhere, to belong ... but when you look at me,
your eyes so filled with caring and confidence, I know that I need not
search any longer. And when you kiss me and I feel your heart beat
quickly, I know that I will do anything to keep you close to me.

You are my strength, you make me want to try harder, do more … you make me
believe. There is nothing more important in this life than to have faith
and to have someone have faith in you. And I promise you that now and
forever I will be that person for you, if you will let me.

There is nothing I would not do for you, no burdens I would refuse to
carry if it would ease your pain and make your troubles lighter.

You look at me now, that incredible smile in your eyes and on your lips,
and I feel light-headed.

For a moment everything comes to a standstill, then you close your eyes
again and slowly drift back to sleep. I watch in wonder as relaxation
settles on your face and listen as your breathing calms.

I love to watch you sleep, and when you move closer to me, and I draw you
easily into my arms I feel privileged beyond compare to have your love and
your trust. And I pledge, every day and night anew, that I will keep you
safe, that I will love you with everything I am and all that I will be,
until the day I draw my last breath.

You are the prayer I never thought would be answered. You are the miracle
I never dared to ask for.

You are all my hopes fulfilled. You are the soul of my soul, forever.

You are and always will be my one and only ...

Imzadi
