On February 17, 2011, my whole world changed.  I met someone; someone who would eventually become everything my heart ever desired.  The first poem here was written Feb 17 on the plane; on my way to meet him for the first time.  The second poem was written one year later; Feb 17, 2012 on our anniversary.  These, of course, are reposts.

Hello - finally
~
Can you hear it
The rapid beating
Can you feel it
The sweet anticipation
We have waited long
Using small words to occupy time
Sometimes often, sometimes rare
But each day, a word or two
To remind us of this time, this day
Where two virtual friends
Finally make the few heartfelt words
Ring true ...
Hello, it is nice to finally meet you.

A drive through me
~
Midnight blue lashes
Eyes freckled with smiles
Sweet sounds of your laughter
As we drive endless miles
Through rolling green hills
Sprinkled with last nights snow
I adore the way
Your eyes seem to glow
When I regale you with stories
And memories from long ago
A few hurts I experienced
A part of me I want you to know
As our relationships grow
I just want you to know
I love you so ....
