He Loves Her

For akaeve

He loves her

She's the one who saved him

Saved him from himself

His memories and his guilt

She challenges him

To face his demons and conquer them

To be all the man he's meant to be

To admit he needs

Needs love

Needs forgiveness

Needs her

He loves her

He loves the sight of her face in the morning

Her voice on the phone

Her lips pressed against his lips

Tasting the essence that is her

Her heart against his heart

Beating as if one

He loves her touch

Her hand in his hand

Her caress across his back

Down his arms

Anywhere and everywhere

Yes, he loves her

He watches as she sleeps beside him

He smiles at the recent memory

The memory of their loving

He loves her warmth beside him

Under him and all around him

He knows she's the one

The one, like her name

Is the promise of things to come

Eve, yes she is the one

The one who loves him in return
