My beloved is mine and I am his.
When night comes we lay down together, wrap our arms around each other and press our foreheads tightly together. In the quiet I whisper to him my dreams, my fears, my hopes, my love for him. He whispers to me of his pride in me, his joy in my happiness, his dreams for me, his love for me. I fall asleep held securely by him and dream sweet dreams.
When I wake in the morning his face is the first thing I see. His smile shines brighter than the sun. His words of love are my breath.
As I leave our quiet place and walk out the door into the world, he reminds me of my value, my worth, my preciousness. He holds me tightly before I leave so that I know his love comes with me.
While I face the arrows, daggers and temptations of the world, his words remain, sweet whispers in my heart and mind. His love is the standard that makes all else insignificant. I wrap his love and his words to me tightly around my heart so that nothing else can claim it.
When I walk in the door he is there waiting for me. He pulls me close and shuts the door, closing out the world. It is insignificant in our quiet place. He notices everything about be. He knows my weariness. He sees the hurts that have managed to reach me. He tends to me carefully, his hands as gentle as his heart as he heals me. All the while he reminds me of how great his love for me is, how eternal and everlasting. He banishes the hurts inflicted by the careless words of others and replaces them with his complete and unquestionable joy in being my beloved. Under his steady and constant love nothing else stands.
My heart is too captivated by him to wonder far. I am complete only with him. When I am with him my joy knows no bounds. When I find myself far from him my heart grieves and cries out it's loss. There is none that can compare, none that measure up, none that even come close. I do not need to look for anything else. He is my all. He is my constant, my anchor, my shelter, my joy, my dream, my hope, my forever.
My Beloved is mine and I am His!
