MEZMERIZED

I think of you and my heartbeat suddenly quickens as I gasp a slight, almost silent breath. A smile slowly forms upon my lips as I reflect over subtle, tiny gestures you've managed to let escape your ever so protected soul.

We both know it's there, yet neither of us dare to allow the thought to go any further. It's almost as if we're terrified that something or someone may infiltrate our thoughts and burst our tiny, little bubble.

So many years have come and gone riddled with good and bad, happiness and sadness...love and hate. But we've managed to overcome it all and now we are where we are....silently smiling to ourselves and the knowledge that we remain mezmerized by one another.

Everyday now is a blessing and every moment shared in one anothers company is a gift that we each cherish in our own way. People are correct when they state that we don't have what others do. It's just so unfortunate that they can't see what we do have together.

Sometimes I feel they may be jealous of how precious what we have is and the rest of the time I think they may just be dumbfounded at not having seen it earlier. But that's ok....because we know what we share....and that is what is important. That and the fact that after all these years we can still remain mezmerized by one another.

My heart is within your hands as yours is within mine. I will embrace it and care for it....love it and comfort it for however long you allow me to....as I know you will be doing the same. They may not understand....but that's ok because love is not supposed to be understood. It's supposed to be experienced, cherished and embraced forever....not analyzed.
