To The Love Of My Life
To the love of my life,
Well, obviously I love you,
But I will tell you that at every moment of every day.
I will tell you I love you when I’m as angry as a bear shaken awake from hibernation,
when you’ve made a mistake and hurt me,
When you’ve done something cute or helped me in any way,
I will tell you I love you when you’ve said it to me
Because there is no reason to never say it to the love of your life.
To the love of my life,
When I am hurt and crying I don’t always want you to rip that knife out of my heart and to stop the bleeding.
I understand that you feel like you always have to be a knight in shining armor,
But I also know that you can’t fix everything!
So I want you to hold me and put your hand over the wound to stop the bleeding.
And I will do the same for the love of my life.
To the love of my life,
I will get kind of annoying.
You will get frustrated when I am distracted because there’s this book and it’s getting to the best part!
So just one more page, just one more chapter,
then suddenly it’s 73 pages later and I am just now looking up with tears of sorrow invading my eyes!
But I promise I will put it down eventually and I give you my complete, undivided attention to the love of my life.
To the love of my life,
When you get a bloody nose or a cut on your hand,
I will be overly concerned.
Then despite your protest,
I will make you lean there on the bathroom counter,
as I retrieve the First Aid Kit to clean, disinfect, and bandage you up.
Of course, only after you try insisting that you are fine and I give a stern look to the love of my life.
To the love of my life,
I will love you until the end of time.
Just as long as I am the love of your life.
This poem is dedicated to the future love of my life.
