Love me tender, love me sweet
Never let me go.
You have made my life complete
And I love you so.
-----
Warrick, once we got over our initial issues, you have never ceased to amaze me. I don't want anyone other than you. Up until now, I have never realized that love could be so special.
When you hold me, I know what it means to be safe. With you, I can let my guard down. You are the one who holds me when I have my nightmares. When I wake up crying from them, you are there to wrap your strong muscular arms around me and comfort me. Grissom would just quote some writer if that happened while I was with him.
--------------------------
Love me tender, love me true.
All my dreams fullfilled.
For my darling, I love you
And I always will.
You have helped me to realize some of my dreams. Some that I thought would never be accomplished. But, not only that…my nightmares are starting to fade away. Before I met you, I would have never considered myself a good singer. You gently coaxed me into singing for you. I remember your eyes were sparkling and you were wearing a genuine smile. When I was done, the first words out of your mouth were, "Sara, that was beautiful just like you are." I could not make eye contact with you because I was so embarrassed. No one had ever told me how beautiful I was. And most definitely, I had never been told that I had a voice that was beautiful. With your encouragement, I did something I never thought possible. You helped me to sing in a nightclub. At first, I was so reluctant to do it. But I didn't want to disappoint you. So, I just kept telling myself, "It will be okay."
And you were there every step of the way. When I finished singing that first song, I can still hear the crowd. They were actually applauding. I looked over to where you were sitting and knew that I would always love you. You are my world.
------------
Love me tender, love me long.
Take me to your heart.
For its there that I belong
And will never part.
----
I know you love me. I can't imagine my life with you. No matter what happens, you will always be a part of me.
-------------------
Love me tender, love me dear.
Tell me you are mine.
I'll be yours through all the years
Till the end of time.

You asked me once to marry you and I said I wasn't ready. But now, I am. If you were to ask me tomorrow I would say yes. If the question didn't arise until years from now, I trust that my answer would be the same. I would love to grow old with you.
I can now picture us doing that. If you were here, you would see that I am smiling and giggling at the thought. I would hope that we could have children together. That is something I never thought about until I met you. Hmm…could you imagine how our children might be?
Would they have your sparkling green eyes? My gap toothed smile? Your ear for music or my sense of justice?
We will just have to see where life takes us…
