I’ve tried. I’ve looked. I’ve tried again.
I have only found that what I never found
must make true that it is not possible to tell you in mere words
all that you are in my life.

Your smile is an addictive welcome,
while your eyes tell stories only I can understand.
Your hands calm the most nervous of nerves.
Your love makes me better.
Your love makes everyone better.

I stand each day in a life position only made possible by the willingness you explore,
by the patience you gift me,
by the love we hold in our arms.
You are a stop light when I’m moving too fast,
a green light to my ridiculous dreams.

What I should search for is the reason for how I could ever be so lucky,
but I don’t deserve to know more than the simple fact that I don’t deserve all that you are.
But I try to every day.
No need for doubt about that.

So I leave you every morning only waiting to come back.
Back to the home we have made.
Back to the love that we champion.
Back to the boy we adore.
Back to the place we swore we won’t ever leave.

You are deserving of a lifetime of bright smiles,
brighter sunrises and purple sunsets.
Long car rides to sights only imagined.
Flights to places only seen in fairy tales.

Mari,
I’ve tried. I’ve looked. I’ve tried again.
I have only found that what I never found
must make true that it is not possible to tell you in mere words
all that you are in my life.
