My heart has beaten
billions of times before I met you
But it beats a different
beat now
It beats in unison with
yours
When you exhale, I inhale
When I exhale, you inhale
When you smile, it is my
lips that turn upward
When you cry, I feel your
tears run down my cheek
When you open your eyes in
the morning, it is me who awakens
When you close your eyes
at night, it is me who dreams
We are one heartbeat
One body
One soul
I love you with the
entirety of me
With all that I am
With all that I've ever
been
And with all that I could
ever hope to be...

We have found what we've been looking for all of our lives and I promise you I will cherish us the rest of forever. You make me feel loved like I never thought possible, you make me happy, you make me smile and you let me be everything I ever wanted to be. I love you, with all that I am for everything that you are! Your fiancée :)
ReplyDeleteHey that's so romantic. One of my favorite poem for you and Beate by Rumi.
ReplyDelete"I saw you and became empty.
This emptiness, more beautiful than existence,
It obliterates existence, and yet when it comes, Existence thrives and creates more existence" .... :)
:)

ReplyDeletedat is een heerlijk gevoel dat je moet vasthouden.
ReplyDeleteReminds me of Pablo Neruda's Sonnet XVII
ReplyDelete"I love you without knowing how, or when, or from where,
I love you without problems or pride:
I love you like this because I don't know any other way to love,
Except in this form in which I am not not are you,
So close that your hand upon my chest is mine,
So close that your eyes close with my dreams."
Breathtaking!
ReplyDeleteThat's lovely! I bet your honey loves it!
ReplyDeleteOh how utterly beautiful...:)
ReplyDeleteI wish you two many happy years together! :)

ReplyDeleteAh Keith, poetic for sure - you have gift with expression and words, but the content is real and true and heart-felt.
ReplyDeleteEven for someone with a gift for eloquent writing it is difficult to pen all of the emotion wrapped in your heart.
