My Heart, My Life, the very breath that sustains me,

    It is you I have come to stand before. My purpose, my essence, my salvation, my Angel of Mercy, that saved me with a kiss and held me safely with a smile. It is because of you I live for the first time. It is because of you I now want nothing more than to love you.

    I know little to nothing of love. My knowledge of the matter was an illusion and showed me what I thought I should believe. Why did I limit myself? Why did I wait so long to look past my narrow sight to a greater beauty, that now drives me to my knees with such a force, that it has shattered the reality of what I once believed?

   The questions that spin through my head move to quickly and are unreachable. But I know they have to do with you. I only know this because when I glance just upon the shadow of your image, it spins my mind to try and think of the things I wish to say. It is the same mind that overwhelms me with the thoughts of why you are with me and no other. But all that stops once I see the way you look at me.

    How did you come to chose me? What part of me did your eyes look onto to ignite a desire to spend a life time with me? I am grateful for your first glance and humbled you saw so much within this man. For this I live forever in your debt and will spend every life time that history has produced serving you. I kneel before you a grateful servant. You have found something within me you have devoted your heart to and I will continue to give the very thing known and unknown to me.

   If I were an intelligent man, I would create a new vocabulary that could only be used to describe you. For it pains me now to have to resort to the words that someone has used on their lover. So forgive my ignorance that has caused me to tarnish your beauty with these words. I wish I could say this with the tongues of the great poets, but I am a simple man who loves you to the fathoms that I myself cannot understand.
