[hometext] => A light in the dark, and a shelter for the storms. This is for you Dustin. We've been through a lot in ten months. May this be the start of forever. I love you.
[bodytext] => Golden rays of pure light shine from above
Down to earth’s surface, illuminating the cool water As I sit and reflect on the past months in succession I stare down into the glassy water, and smile. I don’t recognize the face of the woman staring back. Her eyes are deep and bright, glowing with love A love so deep and bright, so strong and bold Even dark clouds could not shade it from being told. I might have caught some glimmer of recognition When I looked more intently, the eyes showed fading pain A world left behind, but not altogether forgotten She stared back as her story was now ready to be told. It seems she had been rescued, a true damsel in distress By her knight in shining armor, a black tux with silver vest He had swept her off her feet, helped her laugh and even cry She had grown to love him, as the months came and flew by. They had barely been separable for the months in between Dinners and walks in the park, and even a little ice cream, But she had longed to be something so much more than a close pal or a good friend, She wanted to be his special someone, to share his life with him. One clear starry night, as he waited by his car to leave He had stuttered and stumbled through a massive speech She couldn't recall all he said, but one thing she would never forget He had asked her to go steady; the word yes had left her lips. That night was the start of a journey, one that takes a lifetime to complete, Her eyes told of storm clouds that had threatened to defeat They also told of rainbows after the storm had passed, And how their love was true, she was sure it would last. As I looked a little closer I realized what I had gained And how with one simple word your life could be changed You see, I saw myself reflected there in that pool The way I was is no more, not now that I have you. I am sure that you have noticed the change that you’ve made in me Not for worse, but better my time with you has left me You chase away my dark clouds, and help me go that extra mile You’ve made me see my beauty and helped me find my smile. The months have come and gone, since that clear and starry night We’ve had our up and downs, our laughter and our fights But one thing I know I’m sure of, I love you more and more I’ve found you are my everything, my godsend,so much more. Thank you for the love you’ve given, the tenderness that you show For all the support and caring that have helped me learn to grow May this be the start of forever, continuing never to end Of my life together with you, my very best friend.
