My existence now is pure and unincumbered <br />extasy. I am in love with life, living. <br /> <br />I have at long last found the perfect <br />soul mate. Solitude. I relish my time in <br />the garden of the written word. I hunger, <br />thirst for more of the sweet nectar of <br />discovery, knowledge and wisdom. <br /> <br />You are my friend and know that I <br />understand of who you are. Know that I <br />trust you with my most intimate thoughts. <br />To me, your softness is as the pedals of <br />a flower, your sweetness their scent and <br />your love, understanding and support <br />throughout these many years...all that <br />I hold closest to my heart. <br /> <br />Know that if you have need of me, I am <br />but a whisper away. Know that you are <br />often in my thoughts...and always <br />in my heart. <br /> <br />Know that your pain is my pain. You joy... <br />is my joy and your dreams of happiness... <br />are my wishes come true. <br /> <br />These words are sent to you with love. Let <br />them cause you to seek the love, peace <br />and contentment, that I have discovered <br />on this Higher Plain In Life. <br /> <br />You shall always be my soul mate of <br />understanding. I have rarely know <br />one with the goodness, compassion <br />and the love you possess. <br /> <br />Know this... I have never loved you <br />more. <br /> <br /> <br />© Joe Fazio<br /><br />(brief renderings) Joe Fazio<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/if-you-have-need-of-me/
