the years stretch out in rays of light, two summers now and winters in love with the laugh in your eyes and the taste of your lips, warm and soft, sprinkling their magic over me with whispers and moans.

and still i feel the dawn of a new day bursting its color over us. the pink of the rising sun on our cheeks as we sit, sipping on hope and watching the beautiful view.

you are every bit the dream i dreamt when first we met, but now you are so real. so much more than i ever imagined i'd find.

i am bound by our love, strengthened by the view from *your* mountaintop and inspired to keep putting the pieces together in this puzzle of love called us.
