“I love thee to the level of everyday’s
Most quiet need” (Elizabeth Barrett Browning)
“Everyday’s Most Quiet Need”
All the things I’ve wanted
Longed for
Dreamed of–
I found in you.
A best friend who
Let’s me be me–
Quirks and all.
I yearned for someone
Who would believe in me;
Share my dreams;
Support my vocation.
And when you said
I’m “intellectually sexy”
I lost my breath
And my heart sang.
I can’t believe I wait
For the phone to ring.
But I do–
Because I long to–
Hear your voice–
Hear you laugh–
Hear you say…
“Hey beautiful.”

I did too. That’s when I knew I was going to spend the rest of my life with him. 🙂
Loved it, as usual!
“Intellectually sexy…” Hmm… I like that!
