So Many Ways to Say It - poem

Old poem, but dear. A poem about love and eternal loving.


Beloved, did you know 
that you’re my beloved?
The sun and moon may shine 
or be hidden in darkness,
but as long as there is you; 
the light will always be near.
To chase away the shadows,
to block the way for monsters.
How very strange really, 
don’t you think?
-That life can be dependent 
on such a small thing,
like the smile of a friend…
a word or two
about the love and joy you 
find in each other.
The wisdom that your soul carries, 
it amazes me constantly.
And if I travel the world 
or to the other side of the universe,
or if I stay right here
 -it’s all the same.
Because you’re with me 
in every move I make,
are there in every breath I take,
like a guardian angel.
And no matter what happens, 
I know
that you are here 
and you are mine.
As surely as I am yours,
now and forever.
