Starlight

My darling 

My love 

My everything 

Did you hear the wind as it rustled through the trees today

It was me calling out your name 

Did you feel the sunlight as it softly caressed your face 

It was me tenderly touching your face

Did you hear the birds chirping in the trees? I sent them to sing the melody of what you mean to me

Along with all my wishes to pull you nearer to me

I count the seconds

I count the minutes 

I count the hours 

I count the days 

Each with the most profound longing where you and I are side by side, loving each other

My darling, my sweet, did you feel the moonlight on your face 

It was me that sent the moonlight to kiss you deeply in the night

My forever, my everything. Did you see all the stars lighting up the skies

I sent them to remind you there is no end to how I love you. It is my gift for all of eternity. It has been written across the stars and across time 

And now, with the words forever in ink 

Just like your name on my skin, your love has branded me forever 

You are my air and my love. Take my hand and give your pledge to me, and seal our love story when you give me your name. 

There will never be enough time to love your heart, so I will ask for forever and a day where I might linger a while longer in our love.
