One Faithful Heart 1/1

	With a sigh, I shut down the computer in front of me, leaned 
back in the chair and stretched lazily. These late nights are really 
starting to take their toll on me, but since this a new job to me, 
there's not much I can do about it. Too much to be done, and not nearly 
enough time to do it all. 

Time, it goes so fast
Like a river running past
And you're lucky if you find at last
Just one faithful heart

	I cleaned up the mess on the table as best I could, then I 
stood up and stretched once more. Walking back into the bedroom from 
the living room, I can't help but smile as I see all the blankets 
and sheets lumped together around a figure in the middle of the bed.

So I watch her as she sleeps
All curled up in her dreams
Somewhere beneath the quilt and sheets
Gently beats one faithful heart

	It's been three years since I married her, and I love her just 
as much as I did back then, if not more. Everything tastes better, 
smells better, and looks better since she came into my life and stayed 
by my side.
	I gingerly sat down on the edge of the bed, being extremely 
careful not to wake her. Not that any movement of mine would wake 
her up anyway. Unlike me, she's a pretty heavy sleeper, and not even a 
hurricane could bring her out of her dream world. I wake up to the 
slightest noise or the simplest of dreams. How I envy her that she 
always gets a full night's rest.

As constant as the morning star
And as sure as gravity
Her love makes me complete
Makes my life so sweet

	It's funny really, how we managed to end up together. I mean, 
who knew that after all our constant bickering, we would fall head over 
heels for each other. All of her friends and some of mine were just as 
surprised as we were at first, but then, it was almost as if they 
expected it to happen.
	Leaning back on the bed, I catch a glimpse of her long blonde 
hair peeking out from under the covers. Bright beautiful blonde hair 
shimmering in the moonlight that filters in from the window. It shines 
just like the rest of her personality. Such a change from the way my 
life used to be. She'll never know how grateful I am for that.

This night will slip on by
Soon she'll open up her eyes
And I will see the light that shines
From just one faithful heart

	With one glance at the clock, I know that the night is nearly 
gone, and soon she'll be awake. I can just imagine what she'll do when 
she wakes up. First she'll blink her bright blue eyes and couple of 
times to get used to the morning light, then she'll roll over and 
whisper in my ear to get me to wake up. I love it when she does that. 
I look forward to it every morning. 

I live to see that light that shines
From just one faithful heart

	I love her, and she loves me back. What more could I ask for?
