  • When I Think

    When I think of all the waysI’ve tried to say I love you—When I think of all the thingsyou do that make me love you—

    The quiet times when we are closethe long and raucous passionthe way we glance across the roomand always feel compassion

    When I think—

    The words flow forth and tumble downin cascades from my heartand still do not begin to tellhow we can never part

    A love like ours—beyond all wordsbeyond our hugs and kissesbeyond the days we carry tightbeyond the reminisces

    A love like ours will always livefrom here to the hereafterand every eon find anewour joy, our tears, our laughter

    When I think,,,

    Excerpted from Beloved by Lois Tschetter Hjelmstad.
