If Ever

a love poem for my husband

If ever I loved you
It was the evening we met
Gleaming hair, bright eyes
Contagious smile and shy nature
Only you touched my heart

If ever I loved you
It was the day you proposed
Down on one knee
My name sweet on your lips
Only you held my soul

If ever I loved you
It was the perfect day we were joined
Holding hands, becoming one
Promising ourselves forever
Only you gave me your name

If ever I loved you
It was the moment we created life
Fierce, passionate coupling
Raging desire saturating the air
Only you gave me a purpose

If ever I loved you
It was when I held out your daughters
Tiny, mewling new babes
Fists curled, ready to conquer
Only you gave me your tears

If ever I loved you
It is every moment, every day
Your pride, your love
Your undying loyalty and devotion
Only you own me

If ever I loved you
It is now

A brilliant, lovely poem. Sweet and cute and touching, that feeling when you know there is one person for you in this life. Very romantic and sweet. The kind of perfect love that only happens in fairytales. If I ever love anyone, I hope it's going to be this kind of love!
