Yours and Mine
This unexpected pain
Robbing us of time
That should have been
Dedicated solely to joy.
We share the weight
We keep going, you carrying me
When I should carry you.
And all I want is the moment
Thirty days from now.
A white dress
The scent of freesia
The faces of friends turned forward
Then back to me…
I want to just be there.
Seeing you
Waiting for me
Beckoning me to take the first step
To hope
To know we are each other’s fate.
My heart worries
My soul is restless
Afraid I bring dark clouds with me
Snatching the blue from your sky
Robbing you of light somehow.
You promise me
Every day
That I am the other half of your heart
Your happiness, Your light…
Your life.
I can’t imagine
That I am to you
What you are to me-
Peace, hope, love, joy
Laughter in the darkest moments.
If you only knew
The pain you soften
With your words
The memories you erase...
The hurt you heal with a glance.
It is all yours and mine…
To take back our own sky
Paint the clouds, find the light
Hear no voices
But our own.

I LOVE this line.
That is absolutely beautiful. I think we all worry sometimes that we are not the partner we should be...not what they deserve...but it sounds like your man knows you, accepts you, and loves you very very much. Congratulations.
truly lovely =)
i think... you ARE the blue of his sky :)
I just love your blog, beautiful writing!

I love your poems. I subscribe to your blog in Google reader, and always reserve some quiet time at the end of the day to read your posts. But today, when I noticed your new post was a poem, I snuck a peak while at work. So, here I am, at my work desk, teary-eyed, and grateful that you find the words to express your feelings so eloquently. Words which mirror much of my own feelings. Even though I don't know you at all, I am so happy for you. And appreciate that you're sharing this journey with us.
That was truly beautiful!
Thank you all so much for the comments (and compliments). They mean so much to me!
