MY DREAM, MY HEART, MY FLAME

I love you,
not only for how
you make me feel,
but also for how you make me
all I ever wanted to be.

I love you
for all I see in you,
and for all you may become
together with me, but mostly
for all you truly already are.

Oh! the force and the passion
of this exhilarating storm,
Oh! the peace and the happiness
of this contented calm,
Oh, the sun, the moon, the star
in the life of my permanent firmanent.

I remember when we were
two lost and lonely souls-
now we burn and shine so brightly,
found as one heart that beats the same,
love with such emotion and power
that words and I just can't contain.

You are my dream, my heart, my flame.
