We Are Complete

We are born into this world incomplete
Half a person growing up in search of the half that completes us

Each life gets but one chance at eternal happiness
One chance to join with that person who completes our lives

Once a long time ago our lives did touch
Our hearts did sing in harmony and our love grew instantly

But we were so young and so impulsive
What our hearts knew our minds did not

We chose different paths, ignoring our crying hearts
Hearts that knew they had found what few ever find; their other half

I grieved; my heart in torment, my mind depressed and my pillow soaked in tears for you
So dark, so deep the hole in my heart that I couldn’t know it would never heal

We moved on; neither knowing where the other had gone
We moved on; both to suffer at the hands of others who could never complete us

Then a miracle
A miracle by the divine grace of God would occur

We found each other again in our darkest of hours
As if our hearts followed our trail of tears backwards, a second chance happens for us!

Instantly our hearts wrap around each other; begin to heal each other
Our love for one another returns as if a day has not passed since our last embrace

Now unconstrained by the foolishness of my youth;
My heart pours out its love for you

Even my own mind is surprised at how much love my heart has held back
What started as a trickle has grown into a tempest of emotion

Love, adoration, devotion, passion and desire all blend together in perfect union
Our hearts, minds and souls entwine forever as we complete each other once again

I vow to you to never act foolishly again
I will never again take for granted what God has so graciously given back to us

I ask for your hand
I ask you to join your life with mine; to finally complete what was meant to be

Complete and together we will build one life as it should have been
We will surround each other with our love like a warm blanket on a cold night

We will be a beacon for each other in stormy weather
We will savor the calm weather as we savor our family and our love

I will fill your years with happiness and joy
The same happiness and joy that you have brought to me

I love you Genevieve
And only in your arms have I ever felt complete
