I do

To gain, I gave

From you, I strayed

To love, you prayed

For me, to stay.

Your heart, you gave

To you, my faith

For us, each day

No time to spare.

Now, you are mine

And I am yours

Our love, to share

For a lifetime, from today.

À deux

A little bit

A little more

A shade of what’s in store.

A piece of a puzzle

A kiss

A glance

A ray of hope for what it’s worth.

A tremble

A point in time

A tad of dreams

A smile

A raindrop and a hand to hold.

A beautiful mind

A blink

A breath

A box of sand

A small part of that world.

A shimmer

A drizzle

A halo

A wallflower waiting by the door;

Wanting, hoping,

For just a little bit more.
