Progression

A stranger I once was to you,
A shadow in the night;
But now, my love, our hearts are one,
Bright shining in the sun.

For where one walks the other is,
Distant but not apart;
This dwelling place takes sacred part,
You live within my heart.

I love you more than words can say
Or deeds can ever show,
But maybe in the passing time
This depth you'll get to know.

Your name comes first each morning new,
And final thought each night;
Impossible to flee my mind,
Forever in my life.

So with each breath and passing day
I hope it won't grow old
For you to hear, "My dear, I'm here,
Together 'till the end."
