Ten years


The very first day
I saw you there
I saw your smile
And felt a click
In my heart
It opened
Understood all at once
That you were for me
The one and only
Woman and friend
For better or for worse
And reflection
To see and be on to
The things in me
And all the pains
To be released

Now ten years on
Have I lived
Many lives
At your side
Knowing
That I have been
For you
What you have been
For me
A Man and friend
Through everything
In ecstasy
And whatever more
But above all
In depth
The soul complete
Experienced with you
