Of times past without you I think of no longer,

I shiver no more in the dark night without you

The emptiness inside me has been filled

The hurt and pain of long ago has ceased

Now, I hold close to you when I sleep,

I feel your warm touch, and the safety in your arms

The love and shelter they provide.

I know you will protect me from harm

You share my joys, my fears, and my memories,

My pain, my excitement, and every emotion within me.

Your presence gives me comfort

From you I draw the strength to continue.

The bond we share has grown ever stronger

Our thirst for one another has been quenched

Together our minds are one

And two souls, once lonely, have joined
