I've put other's ahead of myself for so long that when I make moves to put my life together they don't know what to do with themselves. Well it's about time you all figured it out because it's my turn to live my life with no apologies. So the person I'd most like to meet is...ME!!
~HIS LOVE~
My Man, My Love, My Hero wrote this poem for me because I am currently going through a very difficult period in my life! I was afraid and just when I thought that he was ready to give up on me, this was his response...

Fighting At Your Back
The sound of swords clashing
Is all too familiar to my ears
My sword hand itches with anxiety
As I alert my senses to prepare for battle
I clench my shield with unmatched confidence
As I gaze into the eyes of my enemies
The smell of blood
Is in the air, so I know…
Peace is no longer an option
I steady my anxious spirit
As to make quick, effective decisions
I swing my sword hand
But to no effect
My shield is seemingly…
Useless
I see my enemies
I can see the intent behind their eyes
I watch the commitment
In their every move
They strike swiftly and repeatedly
And yet…
I remain unscathed
I lower my shield
To widen my sight
And there I see you…
Fighting
They have not come for me at all
You are their target
And this is your battle to fight
They have come with prepared tactics
Surely, they want to make certain
Defeat rests with you this day
Their focus is iron clad
Their planning…
Almost perfection…almost
They miscalculated one thing
Me, no…US
They may have come for you
But I stand ready with shield and sword
I boldly shout a lion’s roar
So you know I’m behind you
And ready to aid you at a moments call
You just remember, to keep your stance wide and strong
Show them only your eyes, trust your shield
Keep your sword hand still
Until you see fit to strike
And when you do…
Be merciless
Give them nothing but the sharpness of your sword
Keep mercy absent from your heart
Forgiveness is only reserved for the victor
Don’t turn your eyes from them
Until they have felt the embrace of defeat at your boots
And should you tire of the battle
Rest easy on the front of my shield
And I will keep you standing
I will even place my hand over yours
And guide your sword
Should you become exhausted
This may be your fight to win
But as long as your enemies stand
I will give my all to you
As I fight at your back

WHAT'S ON YOUR MIND
  MY LOVE
Travis,
What to say? Where to start? Well…I’ll keep it quick and to the point! I LOVE YOU! In a short time you have proven to be a man of worth and character. You are true to your word and very seldom do you go back on it. In you I have found my counterpart, my match! It seems that we were somehow, inexplicably drawn together, but whatever the reason I am so glad that it happened. We have had our ups and downs and we continue to ride the love rollercoaster but if somebody paid me a BRAZILLION dollars…I wouldn’t get off! You are the love of my lifetime, my knight in tarnished armor, my king, my friend, my hero, my bad boy, my poet, my armor bearer, the steadier of my sword hand, my beast, the pain in my ass, the thorn in my side…oh sorry I got carried away! You get the idea. But really I am most grateful to you because you saved me from me…from the destructive and careless path I was on. You have motivated me to be a better parent. You have encouraged me to love myself even when I feel unworthy. You have made me confront myself. It is because of you that I have learned what TRUE honesty is…eventhough I fought it tooth and nail. Around you I have no other choice but to love the skin I’m in. You see me!! I am so grateful to you for that…for not giving up on me when you, so easily, could have! Thank you for accepting me, the broken up mess that I am! And with a pen you even turned my brokenness into something beautiful! I hope that you and I have a lifetime of loving one another, ahead of us! I don’t know what the future holds but I hope you’re in mine for a long, long time! I’ll just tell them to keep the sanitarium doors open because at some point we’re gonna drive each other MAD!! I love you…RIDE OR DIE…but I think you know that already!!
Truly, Madly, Deeply…
