It may be interesting

It may be interesting only to me but when we work together, without a sound between us, I have an overwhelming feeling that "all is right" in the world.

It may be interesting only to me that as you continue your journey of self awareness, you have found your voice and I want to listen.

It may be interesting only to me that as I watch our children experiment with life, that you have prepared them so well to cope with the challenges before them.

It may be interesting only to me that there is a sense of deep security as we both put each others happiness first in all decisions.

It may be interesting only to me that through our childrens mistakes and some have been foolish, the value system, our value system which we imparted to them, has "righted" their boat when they needed it the most.

It may be interesting only to me that when we are apart I linger in your chair a little longer, sleep on your pillow instead of my own, clean up my mess even though no one is watching because you would, pick flowers from your garden just because you really like them and put them on your bureau where you would have, send you cards to let you know I really miss you
and wish the clock to move faster every night so I can call and hear your voice.

It may be interesting only to me that I have figured out what makes you the happiest and I want to work hard to make it the major part of our life. Life with you is so very interesting. You work hard to bring joy into my day, every day. And for this and so many other reasons, I simply love you, now, tomorrow and if God will allow , forever and ever.

You understand me

You understand me, you really understand me.
You listen, not just to the words but the tone, inflection, the warmth or pain in what I say and don't say.

You understand when I really want to be left alone and when I really mean "please hold me tight for a few minutes". You understand communication is more than words. It's gently holding my hand when we walk quietly together. It's sharing from the heart not just the head.

You understand when I need your support and when I must walk alone. I know you will be there when I return. You understand that trust works both ways and in many ways. I have shared with you, my most trusted secrets, as you with me.

You understand, when I close my eyes, I feel the envelope of your love. I regale in it's security. You understand that I value your opinion above all others. I am proud to be seen with you and many times feel lost when I am not with you.

There are times when I see others look at you and I wonder why you stay with me and then I realize that you truly want to be with me. I understand and I sense that you understand what a wonderful "thing" we have created together.

For this and so many others "blessings" you have brought into my life I thank you. But most of all, you have taken the time to truly understand me. For that, I plan to spend the rest of our lives loving you.
