You Love Me As Much As I Love You Poem by Louise Tredoux

The day marching on, each minute following the previous
with military precision, within the seconds I thought I saw
a little fairy, it might have been an angel also, I saw her
wink in conspiracy, I laid my embroidery aside, glanced
through the window, saw you passing by and knew the
fairy came to tell me you were here. I ran down to our
meeting place, it was glorious to see you again, to hear
your tale of yesterday's adventures, to walk on the beach,
to share your confidence, to start the week with trust and
hope in our hearts, briefly embracing before you had to
depart. After your visit the sea seemed more blue, the
wind was more comforting, life suddenly smiling at me,
my sorrows departed and left me the sun shining above,
I read the message of love in your eyes and felt it in the
touch of your lips: You love me as much as I love you...
