My MoonBeam

My MoonBeam

The moonlight cascades through glass
to light your sleeping face
and the stars glitter in the sky above
like a million tiny sparks of my love.

Seems like so long ago
That I first held your hand
And pressed my lips to yours
Handing myself completely over to you.

It hasn’t always been easy;
We’ve had our share of hard times
And yet, in the darkness
My love for you shines brightest.

Perhaps I haven’t told you enough
When you’re awake and listening
Just how you make my body sing
to the tune you make my soul dance.

It’s so much easier, here, in the silence
To caress your face and whisper the words,
Never having to really wonder if you
Feel the same connection.

But last night, as the moon shone in
And I watched you sleeping, I knew
That these things, these feelings,
Had to be shared with you.

And so, I had to find a way to express
All the sentiments my lips can’t always form
So you never have to doubt
That you are the love of my life.

You are my moonbeam, the beautiful
Solace found in the darkness and
The other half of a soul who was,
Before you, lost in the shadows.
