We often take for granted
The things we see each day;
Our home, our money, life and love;
Our children deep in play.
But once we step outside our world
And take a peek within,
We re-evaluate our lives
And long to "start" again.
And with this I must ask of you
Since we have been apart,
Do you still feel the same as me?
Am I still in your heart?
Do you wish as I do now
...That you were here today?
That I could touch and hold you close
And kiss five months away?
And with each day that passes by
The boat moves closer in.
I dream, I laugh, I smile for you,
my husband, lover, friend.
