Never Dies

Sometimes life isn't easy, sometimes it doesn't go as you've planned, and I don't need to say any more than that, but of course, I know you'll understand. But after every rain storm the sun appears, and in my case, it did take a while, but all it really took was a phone call, and then I felt 16 once again, when I saw your smile. And the spark that had lain dormant, well, it ignited, 26 years later, to become a wild fire, and I know God brought us back together, because truly, you are my soul, my heart's desire. You're let me cry on your shoulder more than once, and you've helped me through some very rough times, you've been there for me in my hours of need, you've put the reasons back in my rhymes. I appreciate your understanding of my downs, and it's no coincidence that our paths crossed again, and the path of true love never runs easy, and I'm so glad you never skipped thinking: "When?". Because you never stopped loving me all those years, and somehow, with you in my life, I feel complete, and now, with you in my life, I feel complete, Jeffery, you are the one that makes me completely whole. I wanted you to know that I'm proud of you, and truly, you are my first, the love of my life, and I'm very proud, that after all this time, I'm very proud that very soon, I will be your wife. Thank you for holding onto the dream and memory of us, it couldn't have been easy for those 26 years, and then, when we finally reconnected, you spent many a time having to dry my tears. It feels like God and destiny have played a hand, and who can ever steer and control the winds of fate, and although some of those winds have been quite cruel, they've blown me to you, my one and only soul-mate. We've shared so many wonderful memories, in truth, there's just too many to individually list, just know that each and everyone is simply precious, there's not one that I would have missed. Remember our times on the farm in Todd? The White Chevelle, reconnecting on New Year's Eve? How about the Parkway, how about 26 years ago? How about, for 26 years, having a dream to believe? Jeffery, I just wanted to say "Happy Valentine's Day", I love you for who and what you are, and if my love for your were a distance, well, it would be further than the furthest star. I wanted to say "I love you", but I guess by now, this is no surprise, but one thing I've learned for certain, they're right, when they say "first love never dies".
