The One I Love Poem by Mary Rodriguez

Once in this lifetime we find a special soul
Filling our very essence and making our heart overflow
From the start we began a journey, where each of us shall be
A beautiful reflection of each other, for all eternity
I love how you make me happy and show me that you care
I love when you say "I Love You" and how you're always there
You're my strength, my weakness, my love from the start
You're everything to me, you're the beat of my heart
Love is complicated and often misunderstood
Perhaps that's because it's both wicked and good
I miss the warmth of you by my side
The pain in my heart is reflected in my eye
There are no words I can say to describe
My heart it aches as my eyes they cry
Laying in bed thinking of you
I love you so much, I don't know what to do?
Time passes with both laughter and tears
Memories of you that I'll cherish the remainder of my years
I'll do anything for you as long as I live
I promise to give you all I have to give
Precious memories come to mind frequently
They're always filled with you and me
I hope one day you will realize
How perfect you are to me through my eyes
