We all have known Eros at least once

in our short lives, passionate love

Venus and Cupid keep busy

and we suffer gladly its pains and joys

But it is Agape, pure love, I have found

He stood behind me, and I didn't see him

He spoke softly, so I didn't hear him

but he is there,  my dear friend

and what I know is strength

I know endurance and patience

A whole continent away, but  feelings

run deeper than space and time

How do I say this?  simply; I love you!

Thank you, Stuart,  for knowing me so well

and giving me the gift of your heart!
