More sappy poetry

So, I'd spent the day with her, the great joy of my life. And now I was watching a Romantic comedy, that only served to show me
just how much fire burned in me for her, my princess, my bloom, my soul.
She is the greatest thing I have to call my own, and the dewy tears that dot my eyes as I write this confirm my feelings.
I cannot think of her without feeling as light as air, as free as an entire flock of birds, exploding into a thousand wonderful patterns and universes.
She is my reason for loving life, and teaches me every day the wonder and joy of being with her.
I love you, Brittany, and I can't imagine a day without hearing your voice, touching your hair, feeling those wonderful lips caress mine.
You are special, and I thank you for wanting me, and showing me what I can be.
I can never express what you mean to me, and I can only say that every single inch of me longs for you all day through.

I know the things that I write you are considered poor 'poetry,' but I just have to say these things, and that is how they come out.
I may never have that James Bond Aston Martin, but I will always be the richest man alive as long as I have you by my side.
And I may not be some epic romance hero, but I am what I am, and you love me for that. Now, when I say 'epic,' it makes me think of Odysseus,
who, let's face it, was not exactly a faithful lover, so he is a bad comparison, but Penelope is the example of what we are both like.
She loves her soulmate unconditionally, and waits an eternity for him. So I know that, whatever the boundary, we will always continue to hold each other
close. I do cherish you, and I can never say these things enough. You are the greatest treasure available, honey.

Some would consider this cheesy, but it must be said: I know four languages, and I want to learn more, but I am almost positive that none of them have a
word that completely captures how gorgeous and truly amazing you are.

My Brittany

So there you were, this gorgeous thing on crutches
And I was lower than low could get.
How were you my friend?
Why was I so lucky to know you?

I must have gone on and on
About how I had been wronged, and yet
There was never a moment where your
Friendship faltered.
I never felt alone.

The mistakes I made only led
To the realization that somewhere out there,
I must have someone truly great waiting.
So then we started a great friendship
And I never thought it could be more than that.

My heart was exposed, and I felt
I was not worthy of love.
Was I using you as a rebound?
I could not help but feel so,
And I felt I was transparent,
Alone in my misery, and all the world
Could see what I was doing wrong.

So, how did it lead to this?
Was it thanks to Chad and his bringing
The two of us together?
Or was it more than that, some cosmic balance finally being restored?
Whatever the reason, whatever the cost, whatever the pain,
I am grateful, I will pay it, I will heal it.

I am more in love with you with every day that passes
And I will never let that love perish.
I might not enjoy every second of what happens,
But the end result, every single precious moment we have,
That is what makes it all worthwhile to call you mine.
Always
Forever
For the rest of our lives
