Your presence makes my heart melt like snow too near a flame.
If I had to live without you, I think I'd go insane...
When you approach, I'm all aflutter,
then your caress softens me into warm butter.

Rarely a minute goes by without some thought of you;
Sharing each part of my life is all I want to do...

Much like relief from the heat when the cool winds blow,
the touch of your hand soothes yet makes my heart glow.
Like splashing in the healing waters of a mountain stream,
our love refreshes and revitalizes,
like the feeling of awakening from a restful night of sweet dreams...

In the beginning there's some frenzy,
and, from others, a little envy.
But soon things calm down,
and we plant our feet firmly on the ground.

Now that our love has solidified,
comfort with you never totally dies.

When we open our hearts, they may be broken,
and sometimes lies will be spoken.
Yet if we take some time to work through the kinks and trust one another,
the connection strengthens, as does the love for each other.

True love doesn't arrive every day.
If you've felt it, you know it's rewarding in a myriad of ways.
But every relationship also requires work,
some give and take without the jerk.
And once unending love has been professed,
your partner's needs must be addressed,
and yours, momentarily cast aside.
That's part of life's daily ride.

But, if you're lucky enough to meet someone with whom to spend your life,
nourish the relationship and fight to keep it tight.
Don't give up or let yourself stray,
because love is something from which one should never shy away,
and be grateful for each and every day...
