Once upon a time...
_______________there was a tired in heart and spirit cowboy...who had pretty much given up on knowing what it meant to love completely ... to (be) loved completely....but then on one cold January day...(this) January day...he saw a smile so beautiful it could light up a night sky....and the smile took his breath away.....still does.
For all I have to say - it seems I am at a loss this night to know how to truly convey the depth of my love for you.....how deeply rooted in my heart is this love - that nothing can come against it...oh - things and or people may try to "test" that love...but it is rooted so deeply that nothing comes against it - this love.
The winds may blow and a raging sea may be about us at times....but, still the roots are grounded and grow deeper every day...
You have learned through these years to hold on tight - because you know my love is rooted deeply and my love is strong and sure and true....you have caused this love....and I am blessed beyond measure every day for being able to love you - and receive your love in return...
So much more to say....to pour out my heart....would that i could let you hold my heart in your hand for even a moment....then you would surely know how deeply rooted you are in my heart....
For the moment all I have are my words....and I know they are never enough....but - I try nonetheless....
"We will cross here where the street is crowded that I may hold your hand/We will ride the subways that we may sit touching—that there be/no distance between us. Speak…that I may fill my ears with you./Stay near me, so…I may fill my lungs with you." - Walter Benton
Happy Anniversary, my truest love...
i love you with a love as strong as the moving ocean and as deep as the oldest tree in the Redwood Forest...and as high as the clouds above us...you are indeed the blood that rushes through my veins and the reason my heart beats....
I love you....just. always. With all my heart.
