To my husband.

I am drawn to you like
the stars to the midnight skies
the earth to the burning sun
water to thirsting flowers

I am comfortable with you like
An old pair of boots
A faded pair of jeans
My favorite sweater and scarf

I am at peace with you like
Sitting in a boat in the middle of a lake
Taking a walk in silence in the country
Listening to rain drops fall in the dark of night

I am alive with you like
The laughter that is uncontrollable
The heart that goes thump, thump, thump
Running through wildflowers in the wilderness

Every ounce of my being
Mind, body and soul are riveted by you
I am alive with you, free with you, comfortable with you

I love you

    Your husband is a lucky guy to have someone feel that way towards him. I know exactly what you mean, I couldn’t put into better words how I feel about my girlfriend. Beautiful poem.

    A wonderful poem of the best kind of love, when you feel so comfortable, the other person, even knows what a glance means.
    Thank you, it is lovely.
