Written as a Valentine's Day gift for my amazing boyfriend/fiance. He is the most wonderful man I've ever met and the love of my life.<( ) />

<( ) />

You captured my heart,

My soul and my mind,

Bewitched me with words,

Both lashing and kind.

Your touch warmed my blood,

Made me feel I could fly.

Now whenever you near,

My soul leaps with a cry,

My heart skips a beat,

My masks melt away.

My myriad of fears,

For once are assuaged,

And I stand before you,

At last, not afraid.

No misstep or mistake,

Could push you from me,

You allow me to keep,

What's left of my sanity.

You'll stand by my side,

Through the wrong and the right,

You are my love,

My life, and my light.
