Love Poem No. 23

Persistence

I have no right to ask you not to give up on me ...

But I'm begging you to stay with me - just a while longer.

You are like no other man I have ever met.

I wake up every day wondering if a man like you can exist outside of my mind.

"Too good to be true" is such an understatement.

You just can't be so much goodness, all wrapped up inside just one man.

When I want to walk away and shelter myself for protection ...you take my hand

And walk me thru the days, one by one...

When I want to give up on "us," you patiently let me have my say,

And with your persistence and your gentle words, you calm my heart and my mind.

And our friendship continues to endure....

When I stop believing in the fairy tales of love ...you choose just the time

To suit up in your silver armor and ride up on your big white horse,

Offer me your hand and sweep me away to a place where the passion we share overwhelms us,

And life becomes bearable and complete again.

All because you are in my life, and by my side....
