Forest of Words

Love is magic

Love makes us grow

It forces us to see beyond all possibilities 

To see something new 

To give more than you take 

To love without measure

Love started by growing deep inside of you and me

Love is bright

Love is sparkly

Love can hurt

Love can make you sad

Caring and sharing all of the parts of who you are is part of the most beautiful plan

Love started as a seed 

Love began to grow

The sweetest parts of a friendship 

Began to blossom and grow

Sharing all the parts of our lives 

Time spent along the way

You are my heart 

I am yours

Who knew someone could live with their heart being approximately 7558 miles away

I have lived with my heart so far away, and I want you to know I don’t want to have to spend another day without you by my side

Loving you is of magic and now I need you to come home to me. You are my forever, close your eyes and leap! I love you!

Tick tock

Tick tock

Watch the hours passing on the clock

Longing to fill each hour of the day with you 

Longing for you by my side

Softly 

Gently 

We plot the course of our days

Fill our nights with our passionate storm

Your love for me is brighter than the sun’s sweet rays 

My love for you burns brighter than all the stars in the night skies

I long for the sweetness of holding your hand each day

Long walks 

Long drives

Forever

I want forever curled up in your arms each and every night

I want forever to feel your chest hairs softly as they tickle my face

You are my everything 

You are my forever 

You are every single second on the clock 

You always take my breath away

Tick tock

Tick tock

Listen to the rhythm of the clock 

As he bellows and sways, counting each second of the day 

Count the minutes passing by

Count the hours marching on, sounds echoed by the beating of a drum 

There has never been a second of any given day I don’t spend the time missing you 

I ache to be with you 

I long for you desperately 

I want to lose hours spent where you hold me tightly and kiss me for hours

I want to spend days curled up in your arms, as many as the ones we have had to spend apart 

I want to spend an eternity lying in your arms

I want to lay next to you

I want to hear you breathe 

I want to feel you 

I want to feel you next to me

I love you 

I love you

I love you 

I am going to love you for all time

Pitter patter are the sounds 

Hear the thunder crashing down

All the sounds seem so tiny and insignificant compared to the sounds beating from within my heart

It’s stormy, and what I want to feel is my husband lying next to me 

I want to hear his heart beating in his chest

I want to listen to the rumble of his snoring next to me

I want to hear him murmuring in my ear. Baby is only just a tease

I want to feel his arms wrapped tightly around me countless times throughout the day 

I want to share our tea and coffee and talk about our day

I want to go for drives 

I want to go for walks 

I want to enjoy nature and explore the world

I want to write poems and sonnets and blog about things that matter to me

Starting with needing to feel his body next to me

Pitter patter are the sounds 

Feel my heart pounding out your name 

Tears fall, softy,

Need you next to me 

Umair, you are loved eternally 

I ache for you in ways impossible to describe

Every single day without you next to me

I fight for air 

I fight to breathe 

I fight for everything 

I need to feel you next to me

I race against the clock

I race against time 

I race to the space and time that you and I share 

Time in your arms 

Your hands in mine

Feel your breathe on my skin

Consumed by our love

I want more walks in the sunlight 

I want more walks underneath the stars 

I want more of everything that is ours 

Every single day, you fight for the things you wish for us in our lives 

Every single day, I fight because all the rest is meaningless without you right next to me!

I love you 

I love you Umair 

I love you endlessly

Roses are red

Violets are blue

Did you know 

My world rises and sets in your heart

I am blue when you are blue

You light a fire in my heart that blazes brightly as the morning sun

My love burns equally brightly as the sun says goodnight each night

I long for your loving arms to wrap me

In your loving embrace 

You protect my heart like the moon shining over us in its protective, ever-present luminescent glow! 

The brilliance of your deeply golden amber honey eyes shine brighter and more beautifully than all the stars that rise and set our nights ablaze with billions of brilliant twinkly lights 

I love the way you love me

I love the way you hold me 

I love cuddling deeply in your chest 

I ache to breathe in your cologne

Feel your lips on mine

I love the way my heart feels next to you

I’m so glad you are mine

Here is the thing: on any given day 

You are my first thought

My last thought 

And countless thoughts throughout the day

You are my daydreams on Friday afternoons for magical weekends spent entirely loving you 

You consume my thoughts every Saturday nights dreaming of delicious and yummy Sunday naps on the couch with you

I wonder again if all the lovers in the world truly appreciate all that they have 

Especially the ones who haven’t yearned and ached for their husband and lover for nearly every day for almost 730 days and counting 

Who aches to hold their lover and husband, and he is 7000 thousandish freakingly annoying miles away

I count the hours 

I count the days

A million and one ways to tell you I love you 

A million more to show you how much I love you

When Allah reveals his magnificence for the entire world to see. Opening the daybreak in brilliance! And your husband captures it on camera to boot!

Twinkle, Twinkle every star that ever shined brightly in the sky

You are loved and treasured, Umair 

More than all the stars that fill the sky

Or light the way home 

To my arms

You are loved 

You are adored

You are everything that ever mattered 

You light my way

Safe in your arms 

Nestled in your chest

Forever treasured 

Forever loved 

Put a tiny bit of that brightness in your heart. Know you are loved beyond all the stars shining brightly in the sky 

For my Husband and Heart, Umair

In every moment for nearly two years, I have fought battles right next to you 

I have stood by you faithfully 

Devoted 

There is simply no other man I could even begin to see

The sun and the moon rise and set in your eyes 

My love for you burns beyond eternally 

You are the stars in my sky 

The sparkle in my days 

I love and breathe for you in every single way 

I hurt when you hurt 

In ways impossible to describe 

I have loved and supported faithfully because that is what a wife should do

I have loved 

My heart has beaten entirely for you 

Raindrops

Dew drops

Water glistens on the window pane

Sunlight

Moonlight

Star Light

I need to feel your arms again

Hope and desire consuming me 

I feel so much it’s hard to breathe

When you are by my side, the world is at ease 

Love and longing threaten to drop me to my knees 

You and I, side by side

Sunlight 

Moonlight 

Starlight

In every moment when our worlds collide, 

I find my bliss

I find my peace

I find you next to me

Fingers intertwined with love that matches mine
