Love At Last

by justafan

There have been many in my life That I thought held the key to my happiness Alcoholics, womanizers, abusers ...the lot   Was on the edge of giving up …on finding real love Then there was you Soft, caring and filled with honesty.   That word,“honesty” was foreign to me Coming from any man But, you lived it    Love from you was honest To be trusted By my heart    I remember when I knew I loved you Almost to the very second    I was lying beside you My head on your chest Listening to your heartbeat ...   I raised my head Looked into Those gorgeous blue eyes    Saying, with every ounce of my being While my fingers traced The outline of your heart   “I wish I could crawl Right here ...inside your heart  Stay forever, where I know I will be safe”   There are a lot of pretenders in this world But you my love, are the real deal I'm blessed to know you are mine
