Love's Faith

Through my rain you brought the sunshine,

 Looked past my pain and beyond all my cries,

The love you gave warmed every depth of my insides,

You saw deep beyond my sorrowed eyes,

Took the time to explore every inch of my soul,

Placed the actions behind the words your heart spoke,

I was so bruised but still not broken,

Brave yet still battered from my past,

But you kept pulling me through the madness,

The very reason I didn't shatter,

Even though the chaos consumed me,

The intense desire in your heart renewed me,

I crave every thing that is you,

The way your spirit connects to mine,

Your harmonies and my melodies divinely intertwined,

I want you to be my last and only,

Never want to think of a day without you holding me,

Knowing that even if we fell apart my heart wouldn’t let go so easily,

Can’t deny how my soul is yearning,

Clinging on the moments when your voice soothed me,

Trapped in the memories of the smiles you birthed through to me,

Proving love wasn’t my enemy but an experience,

Sending me back to the faith in love that I had long lost,

With you I have every royalty imaginable without even paying the cost!

I had completely forgotten I had written this piece for my husband when we were only dating. While editing some pieces for my upcoming book I found it and it brought such a smile on my face. I am so thankful for the storms he has weathered with me even when he barely knew me.
