The Fourth

I see her smile and feel the sun
she brightens and warms my world 
days are better with her in them
I often forget to tell her that

maybe because I am self absorbed
perhaps just clueless and unaware
it isn't intentional neglect or apathy
just something that slips my mind

I am far from perfection, I know
but her love brings me closer
it is good to know that we matter
that someone loves us for us

the time for resolutions is now
and getting in shape seems popular
it is not my belly that I need to tone
but my awareness and understanding

to say "I love you" every day
not merely in the morning or at night
but at every opportunity I find
and perhaps brighten her world too
