Te Amo

by

Laramie Lee Roecker

What is this thing you make me feel,
An emotion so strong that I know it's real?

It's as though I've found my long lost twin.
How do I know this? It comes from within.

But no, you're not my sister nor brother,
You are a twin like no other.

You are my soulmate, my one true love,
Sent to me by God above.

We've been separated by distance for so long,
Yet connected since birth by a silver cord.

A cord, we both know, that will never sever,
For it cannot be cut-not now, not ever!

>From the moment we met, I knew it was you.
I realized our souls were but one, not two.

I thank God that I found you so early in life.
I'm so honored that one day you'll be my wife.

Our love will thrive now and tomorrow,
Through all the times, happy and sorrow.

And when our time on earth has ended,
We'll still be together, up in Heaven.

For love transcends corporeal existence,
With God's help and immortal persistence.

I'm yours for eternity, por que?
Te amo ahora, y siempre.

[In case you're not fluent in Spanish,
"Por que? Te amo ahora y siempre." =
"Why? I love you now and always."]
