The One Thing I Completely Believe In
Three am ... wide awake
Maybe, just maybe
This year’s gonna be okay!
2011, February 8th
Today was Shane’s 16th birthday!
2015 ... he’ll be twenty
Hmmmm, wonder where I’ll be in 2015
Will I have love?
Share life with someone?
Quit settling for just some things
And not all?
During that year, I will become 55
And then will come 60
Why do I smile :) at that sound??
Shane will be 25, Danny 32
Brendan and Shannon in between
............
Because I know what I feel for you now
I will still feel then
Is it possible
That I have dreamed you
To be something that is not?
No. Funny, you’re the one thing I completely believe in
With no effort at all
Not a doubt in my mind or heart
Never once a question of
Where did you come from
Beginning day one, I (we) belonged
I didn’t look at it exactly that way
On day one
But I do know, that the moment you stopped at my kiosk
(on day one)
My world made sense
Peace, completely settled over me
When I looked into those eyes
That moment, I felt I belonged
I knew you’d be back
I connected with something
As never before
Total SECURITY ... I felt “at home”
In the midst of “crisis”
My soul was consumed
You entered with natural flow
I didn’t even “feel” it happen
In one moment, you were just implanted
... as if always having been there
In the days, weeks that followed
I fell in love ... as did you
It’s a love
Difficult for many to understand
A love
Incredibly, meant to be
As often as that is said,
THIS one truly, really is
No matter what a day brings
You are there ... inside me
No matter the insecurity that surrounds me
You are there ... securing me
Every day, I draw from you
The inside of me, where I love you
........ the only place, where I am whole
No, I have not just dreamed you
Because you are still here
Always here
What I feel for you makes me whole
It joins my physical with my spiritual
In a way that puts me at ease ... in balance ... at peace
In the “absence” of you
Sure, I sometimes wonder if you feel this too
Then I tear up, yet feel so strong
And I understand that yes, yes you do
Almost 5 am now ... and you are miles down the road
As every day, and unknowing that I sit to write to you
Yet, I feel so close to you
As if I could reach out and touch you
And you would know ...
I don’t imagine your whisper, I hear it
And I thank God every day that you walked down that aisle
