For the longest time, I wondered what my soul-mate was like.
Do you think he uses a 32-tooth smile or the tiny one?
Would he drink coffee or tea or maybe iced tea?
What color could his eyes be?
How would he pronounce my name? Dilll.. Diiil.. Dil..
Or would he call me by a nickname? D.. Dido.. Day.. Dilly..
I lay very still on my bed with my eyes closed (I could hear a bird outside my window). I spent years in wondering... and imagining... and dreaming about the answers to these questions. I have even had lengthy discussions about it with friends over coffee or pizza.
I slowly opened one eye. And I saw him (I held my breath for a few moments). The answer to all those questions was fast asleep right in front of me (32-tooth smile, tea, chocolate brown, DIL or Sweetheart). I opened the other eye and a voice in my head started to sing a sweet song:
The sun has spent its day
in a very far away place
now it's making its way back
to shine upon my face
The stars retire to darkness
and the grays fade to blue
white clouds take their place
as I open my eyes to you
My head rests on your arm
my prince is fast asleep
"you're my one and only hero
my guardian angel to keep" :)
A year ago you were a stranger
someone I did not know
and now you're my husband
someone I can never let go
10 more minutes to eight
for the alarm to shout out
so I cuddle up closer to you
for a quick snoozing time out
Love does that to you. It makes you all mushy on the inside. It makes terms like sweetie sound nice and wearing matching outfits cute. It gives you the strength to smile even if you're missing a tooth and the power to find light in the darkest of moments. Good morning!
