My Soul Speaks

Thoughts jumble together within my mind

Tangled in thick yarn

Unable to separate them

Wanting to break them free

So that perhaps then you will see

The words are there

At the tip of my tongue

If only I could make a connection

Between my mouth and my mind

Perhaps then an explanation you would find

I just want you to understand

Grasp even a hint of what I would like to say

So you could see inside my soul

Why do I feel I must sound eloquent?

Surely, you’ve known all along what I meant

You already know how I feel

I see it when I look into your eyes

So I guess I don’t need to write a beautiful phrase

Or take my feelings and turn them into a song

For you’ve known my soul’s tune all along

I love you, Doug. So much! In 11 days, we will celebrate six months together. I am as happy as I was that cold October evening when you asked me to be your girl, perhaps even happier. Who knew that the broken road, that the long wait would be worth it? People told me it would be, but a skeptic I remained until your love found me. <3
