To My Love

To My Love

To my love,

Who creates the air my lungs breathe,

Whose loving touch makes me feel,

Whose warm blood made my heart start,

Whose blue eyes encouraged my dreams to touch the skies,

Whose bright knowledge made me think,

Whose strong soul taught me of prayer,

And whose precious love built me whole and made me live.

To you, my love, I give my heart when yours stops beating.

To you, my love, I give my life when yours stops existing.

To my love.
