Love Poem # 179
Last Christmas I Gave You My Heart
As I sit, surrounded by Christmas cheer
My mind drifts back to this time last year
The crowd fell away and I saw only you
No more than a glance but my heart somehow knew
Before I met you I'd had my share of sorrow
So I was instantly guarded and full of bravado
You were never fooled and you saw the real me
And I realised I can only be the best I can be
We shared our first laugh, our first kiss, our first smile
And I tried to not love you, at least for a while
We became friends and lovers, I bared my soul
It was only with you that I began to feel whole
When you declared your love you broke down my defences
Happiness and hope overwhelmed my senses
Ever since then our love has continued to grow
And with you by my side I will always know
That you will laugh at my tantrums, you will kiss my tears
You will hold my hand to allay any fears
Each night we lie in bed entwined
Our dreams, our hopes, our souls are aligned
And as we sit in the light of our Christmas tree,
I need to convey how much you mean to me
Let us freeze this moment and take time to treasure
A year full of laughter, love and pleasure
Thank you for all of the love you've bestowed
And although the rest of our story's untold
I would trade a lifetime without you for our last year together
You have changed my life, infinitely, for the better
