Love

Has anyone ever loved so deeply before? I should think so, given that there have been thousands of years of the human race.

I think of him always. Not all consuming, but he's always on my mind. He completes me. Without him, I feel empty. He makes me laugh, lifts me up and holds me there. He knows what I'm thinking and I know what he's thinking. We don't always have to talk; a look, a touch, a kiss and we can feel what the other feels.

I almost lost this. I won't say I was a fool years ago, I did what I had to do at the time. But I never stopped thinking of him. I never stopped wondering what he was doing at that particular moment. I checked on him from time to time on Facebook to make sure he was OK.

Since I've come out here to be with him, it's been like a fairy tale and he's my knight in shining armor. We live a simple life. The little extras we work so hard for.

Everything I am, he is. It's like I've loved him my whole life and have searched for him and have finally found him. In his arms, I feel strong and protected. I can feel the strength of his love for me. It flows over me like a cloak.

I sure know I've never felt this way about a man before. Even when I married, I didn't feel this deeply.

When he left all that time ago, a hole was drilled into my heart that hasn't been filled until now. My heart overflows with the feelings I have for him. I can no longer imagine my life without him by my side. And, yet, if I were to die tomorrow, I would die content and happy for I shared my heart with him again.

The feelings almost scare me. What if all this were just a dream? What if I were really sleeping and suddenly woke up and he wasn't there? Each day is a gift that I don't take for granted. Each day is a gift with him by my side.

"All I need
Is the air you breath
All I need
Is the air I breathe
All you need
Is the air we breathe
There are so many things
We need so desperately
And the TV preaches
We can't live without them
You tell me what is neat
I'll tell ya what I believe
If I ever were without it
Then I'd be worthless
'Cause you are everything
The only thing that matters
You are everything
The only thing that I need
You are everything
The only thing that matters
Yes you are everything
You are the air I breathe
I wonder if some day
We took all their toys away
Do you think they'd find the strength
To go on living?
'Cause deep inside I know
If I lost everything I owned
I'd be a king
As long as you're beside me
'Cause you are everything
The only thing that matters
Yes you are everything
The only thing I need
My love means everything
The only thing that matters
Yes you are everything
You are the air I breathe
The air I breathe
I hope someday they find
A place to bid online
Where all lost souls
Can find themselves some meaning
I know we'll survive
All we need's more time
As long as we've got love, and art,
And the ocean
And we are everything
The only thing that matters
We are everything
There's nothing else I need
Our love is everything
The only thing that matters
Cause we are everything
You are the air I breathe
The air I breathe"
