To the most wonderful lady in the world, Beneficia

-The Snow of Our Life-
-----------------------

It was a snowy morning in Cyrene when I first noticed...
You.. You with your long luscious silky hair...
The brief yet enticing grins and laughter you graced upon me with your
soft lips...
I had to remove my helm to believe...
But...
Out of the corner of my eyes, another Knightly man strode towards your
smile...
I nodded understandingly and left the post office but I never forgot...


It was a snowy evening in Kamelikan when we first kissed...
You.. You with your gorgeous loving eyes.. love was in the air...
I will never forget the faint breathing of yours.. The embrace that
grips...
The very core of my heart.. the love I was lucky to receive...
You knew you were mine and I yours that very night.. our relationship
grew...
But...
There was a long snowy road for us, filled with avalanches.. but I
knew...
I nodded resolutely and never gave up... I will never do so and
cannot...


It was a night where the snow had stopped falling to reveal the stars to
us when you first put on the white veil...
You.. You were and are perfect.. Your personality, determination, hard
working attitude, form, beauty, face, everything...
The man that got to see you walking in the most beautiful wedding dress
was...
The luckiest man that ever breathed and lived.. whom were me.. I knew...
But...
But nothing more. Before the Gods' eyes, I made the most important
commitment ever to you...
I nodded happily.. I said my vows.. my loyalty and love lies with you
and only you...


I love you, Beneficia Lighthawk.
I look forward to spending many more years of snow-filled days with
you.. I look forward to knowing that, even in death, we shall be
together and hand in hand...

(Happy 6 Years Anniversary, my sweet Beneficia. Love, Dallam Lighthawk.)
