IT’S BEEN A ROCKY ROAD LATELY
AND I WANT YOU TO THINK BACK TO OCTOBER 2 2004

I STILL CAN REMEMBER THAT DAY AND HAVE THE SAME SMILE FROM WHEN YOU WALKED THROUGH THAT DOOR

I KNOW WE’VE BOTH BEEN STRESSED WITH OUR OWN ISSUES
AND YES I HAVE THEM TOO

AND ISTEAD OF TALKING IT OUT
I’VE BEEN YELLING ABOUT WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU

SO PLEASE ACCEPT THIS AS MY APPOLOGY
I DON’T WANT US TO DRIFT ANY FURTHER APART

THIS POEM, YOUR RING, OR A HUG ARE JUST SMALLER TOKENS
OF THE MAIN GIFT I GAVE YOU – MY HEART

SO REMEMBER THAT SPECIAL DAY BACK IN OCTOBER
AND HOW YOU FELT WHEN YOU LOOKED UPON ME

AND LET THAT SMILE AND THOUGHS FEELINGS
BE THE ONLY ONES I SEE

I HOPE THESE WORDS HAVE HIT HOME
AND STRUCK TRIED AND TRUE

AND ALWAYS KNOW THAT THROUGH THICK AND THIN
I WILL NOW AND FOREVER, LOVE YOU!
