Analysis of For the love of my life
You are the love of my life,
The light in my darkness,
The air that I breathe day or night.
If you were to get lost,
I would find you.
Our hearts are intertwined together,
And our souls have met once again,
To be together forever and ever.
You are the love of my life,
The heavenliest of angels sent from above,
Filling the emptiness in my life with love.
A gift from God just for me,
Possessing miracles for my eyes to see.
Although far apart at times it seems,
Our future together is filled with sweet dreams.
I am taken in by your beauty, your heart, and mind,
Having been so blessed with such a find.
Our years together have passed hourly,
With the best gift of all, a memory.

About this poem
I wrote this poem in sections. The first section was written when my now wife and I were first dating. The second section I wrote after we had dated for quite a while, mostly a long distance relationship.
