how to know Love
\nwhen you meet it<\/p>\n
i knew him before, sure
\nbut one time, in jest
\nhe kissed my hand<\/p>\n
and though the moment passed
\nquite innocently
\nsomehow, that kiss
\nlingered
\non my skin<\/p>\n
i had been kissed before, sure
\nbut one time, caught in a moment
\nhe
\nkissed my lips
\nand I was instantly
\nturned
\nto pure liquid<\/p>\n
knees buckled
\nworlds broke open
\nground swelled
\ninstantly all others before
\nforgotten
\nerased from time<\/p>\n
i thought I’d been in love before, sure
\nbut not like this, never
\nlike this
\nhe offered to me
\nmy place in this world<\/p>\n
he hadn’t appeared
\nas a knight in shining armour
\ngallantly sweeping me
\noff my feet \u00a0(much as i had hoped)
\nbut in a more subtle way
\nsomehow he accomplishes
\njust this
\nevery day<\/p>\n
he allows me to be
\nsmart and strong
\nand brave
\nand when I am falling
\nand failing
\nand fumbling
\nhe tethers me
\nhere<\/p>\n
he makes me laugh
\nhe makes me proud
\nhe looks real good
\nin a suit<\/p>\n
at times
\nhe makes me crazy
\ninfuriates me
\ndoesn’t listen …<\/p>\n
but he knows
\nmy smile
\nand he wins my heart
\nhe keeps it safe
\nand he honours me<\/p>\n
he is kindness
\nand compassion
\nhe is brave
\nand he is strong
\nhe is ease and he is calm
\nand he is
\nmy hearts content<\/p>\n
today is his birthday,
\nand this
\nis my Love<\/p>\n
everyday
\nin Gratitude
\nfor
\nYou \u2665<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
