Spring had just won 

its battle with

a long dark winter 

when our love 

inhaled its first 

breath of life. 

We fought valiantly

side-by-side

against the cold

frigid air of winter. 

But, It wasn't until the 

sun shone brightly 

upon our faces 

that we could 

see. 

That I could see.

You had been by me

all the way. 

And every day 

since I have been

drawn to you like

I am drawn to 

warmth of the sun. 

I have breathed you 

in like the 

honey-suckle 

flavored air of 

spring. 

I have stared 

deep into your eyes

and found myself

lost within pools

of green. 

The same green of

the leaves and the ivy 

that grow and reach

up to the sky

Stretching out to 

endless possibility

endless opportunity. 

And that is what I see

in your eyes, those pools

of green. 

Life and hope 

that just keeps

reaching

that just keeps

searching

that just keeps

growing. 

growing now, 

inside of me.
