after having been apart for 196 days
every ounce of pain
has been lifted away,
for you are here to stay.
my everything,
you have come and gone,
but today marks the day...
you really are here
for the next seventy years.
or for as long as He will allow,
whichever it may be,
i am deeply
and entirely joyful,
forever indebted.
i had begged,
as one does,
in moments of
absolute desperation,
in moments of yearning,
quiet moments of
lust and want and need...
'please God please,
please just bring him to me'
and at last
my love
you have come around.
oh the way i will never
let you leave
from my embrace.
i have you now.
forever and ever
always and truly
