In Every Breath, I Love You

By Liz Picardal, October 24, 2024

In the hush of dawn, with the world yet to wake,

A woman sits quietly, her heart begins to quake.

“What is it that binds us, what threads intertwine,

That draws me to you, like the stars to the divine?”

She reflects on the moments, both tender and raw,

In the laughter of loved ones, in the peace of their awe.

“Is it found in the quiet, where our thoughts intertwine,

In the solace of silence, your heart next to mine?”

Through trials they’ve faced, in the storms they have braved,

Each challenge a lesson, a love that has saved.

“Is it forged in the struggles that taught us to stand,

In the strength of our bond, as we walk hand in hand?”

As seasons change colors, and years softly flow,

She marvels at how deep their shared love can grow.

“Is it written in sunsets, where the skies blend and sigh,

In the moments we treasure as the hours slip by?”

In the warmth of his gaze, in the touch of his hand,

She feels the connection, a love that is grand.

“Is it rooted in kindness, in the joy that we find,

In the laughter we share, in the dreams intertwined?”

With every breath taken, with each heartbeat so true,

She realizes the beauty in all that they do.

“Is it shown in the patience when days turn to night,

In the comfort of knowing you’re my guiding light?”

At the edge of her thoughts, as the stars twinkle bright,

She embraces the love that makes everything right.

“In the journey we’re taking, both humble and bold,

In the stories we write, our love will be told.”

So, as the day wanes, and the sky turns to grey,

She whispers her promise, come what may.

“In every breath taken, in every tear shed,

In all of my being, my love will be spread.”

For the essence of love is a lesson so clear,

It’s the moments together, it’s the heart’s silent cheer.

“In all that I am, in all that I’ll be,

I love you completely, endlessly.”
