The Anniversary



Like the clouds, her eyes shined silver.  Her hair came down over

her shoulders, golden... she was my dream and my admiration.

She was completely adored by me, a common man living in a hard 

world.  I did anything to be with her.  I would sacrifice time and

energy into making a life better between her and I.



I couldn't wait to see her again, and I thought of her all day long.

Wanting to look into her eyes again, for they were so captivating

and so energetic.  They danced a beat all their own and made my 

heart flutter.  The feeling of her close to me warmed my soul.



When I made love to her, I looked into her eyes and I saw her

love for me.  I knew she loved me and I knew that I would always

be with her.  The smile she carried weighed a ton of gold, and

illuminated the room when she walked into it.

He was tall, a tower to behold.  His smile made me weak in the knees...

I yearned to be close to him.  The nights with him I never wanted to

end.  The dancing was always exciting and I enjoyed making him laugh.

It was the way he looked at me, the way he admired my qualities that

allowed me to fall in love with him.  I knew after the third date that I, in

fact, wanted to be with this man for a long time... perhaps forever.



The nights in the bedroom we spent were exhausting.  Falling asleep in

each others' arms and enjoying the moments we had to spend together.

It was the holding I loved, feeling his strong arms around me.  I felt

so safe and warm.  It was his warm breath on my ear that would turn

me on enough to roll back over and make love to him slowly.



His eyes were sky blue and I found myself drawn to them.

When we made love and he looked at me with his eyes, I knew

he loved me as much as I did him.  It made the moment worth so

much more to me.



In public, he would brag about me to all his friends saying how lucky

he was to have me... but I was so lucky to have found a man so 

wonderful, kind, caring... and most of all understanding... understanding

to the internal needs of my heart.



He's my life now.  I gave a weak yes, when he proposed a year ago today...



Now my husband... the man of my life, I do adore so.
