My Love
On a dark night,
the rain drops and the thunder crashes.
I see your reflection in the lake,
and I think about love.
I think about how I love you,
the ways you showed me my heart and my own soul.
I think about how you told me,
you loved me and you showed me your soul.
I look at the reflections
and you look the same as you did when I first met you,
so young and so vibrant.
How you walked shyly up to me
and asked if I would accompany you to the senior prom.
How you jumped at my answer..
Then, again, I saw the same look upon your face
as you asked me to be your wife,
in that thunderstorm long ago.
Now I look at the water,
and I see your smile.
The thunder crashes
as I head home to your loving arms.
You see me cry and ask what is wrong..
I just think about all the years we have known each other,
and (my love) I have one thing to say..
"You are my best friend,
my mentor, my love,
you have held me, when I needed to cry
and you have given me freedom, when I needed it most,
I just want you to know..
no matter what happens from here
and in the future,
I will always love you, Jason, Always...",
then, we went out to the deck,
passing our kids photos,
and stood there in each others arms,
watching the rain fall,
and remembering the rainstorm so long ago...
