As I sit beside you and I stare at the profile I know so well, <\/span><\/p>\n

I wonder of the many things I said back when you and I fell, <\/span><\/p>\n

Then as I reflect on the moment of the first “I love you” I said, <\/span><\/p>\n

I knew you’d say you loved me but fear still danced in my head, <\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

If I fell to the cold hard concrete of your porch as I felt I would, <\/span><\/p>\n

I thought she would think I’m so weak if I fainted where I stood, <\/span><\/p>\n

The passionate kiss brought forth a fire and a need to speak, <\/span><\/p>\n

As the words so manicured in my mind came out I felt so weak, <\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

My heart beat so hard I know you had to see my shirt shake, <\/span><\/p>\n

Oh, how I love you, my beautiful angel, with every breath I take, <\/span><\/p>\n

I said but “I love you,” yet if you could read between the lines, <\/span><\/p>\n

If my body language spoke at all there should have been signs, <\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

When you were so young and I placed a kiss upon your cheek, <\/span><\/p>\n

That was the beginning of a trend when a kiss made me weak, <\/span><\/p>\n

Not a kiss of ordinary value but a kiss from you meant more, <\/span><\/p>\n

Remember when I first took your little hand while in my store, <\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

So many moments of loving you are locked deep within my heart, <\/span><\/p>\n

So many memories of loving you locked deep in a cell and apart, <\/span><\/p>\n

So many moments of loving you beaten so bad I couldn’t stand, <\/span><\/p>\n

So many memories of loving you beat despair for a wedding band, <\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

You pulse through my blood with each beat of my heart, it’s true, <\/span><\/p>\n

In every minute of the day a portion is always for thoughts of you, <\/span><\/p>\n

The rust spec colors in your beautiful eyes are ties of you to me, <\/span><\/p>\n

A young man of steel left long ago and returned with rust tragically,<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

But that I am rust is special to me as I feel the rust in your eyes is me, <\/span><\/p>\n

Each time I gaze into the eyes of an angel I am engraved there to see, <\/span><\/p>\n

Perhaps long ago a warrior knight fought to protect your honor so bold, <\/span><\/p>\n

I recall, I do, in dreams of life’s past I bled out while in your tender hold, <\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Blood from my wound covered your hands as you wiped tears away, <\/span><\/p>\n

The rust of my blood has stained your eyes to forever link us this way, <\/span><\/p>\n

I may be a king but I once was a prince that fought valiantly for you, <\/span><\/p>\n

It seems in each lifetime I’ve done such because for you it’s what I do, <\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

I survived it all this time and though I’ve passed on in this life times four, <\/span><\/p>\n

The Lord has allowed my return to you instead of each lifetime before, <\/span><\/p>\n

I am but rust to your gold no doubt, time and battle has worn me thin, <\/span><\/p>\n

Yet from a kiss of your tender lips this rusted frame becomes gold within.<\/span><\/p>\n

The end, a poem of deep long love for you my angel. \u00a0I love you.<\/span><\/p>\n
