When you live someone you hold them close



When you love her you hold her close
You want to be with her and share your feelings no matter what
You want to love and hold and keep her safe
You want to protect her
You can’t imagine a moment without her
You want to be with her always
To share with
To laugh with
To cry with
To understand
To listen to
To reassure
To hold and keep safe
To protect
To honor
To have and to hold
To make love to
And to know that no matter what you are  better together than you ever were alone
To truly love is a gift
Act as if today is your last. And never have any regrets
