The Catch by Ivan Guerrero Najera

The Catch

Every way to yesterday
Is evidence of something grand
The road to find you here with me
To see, to live, and in love stand

Carried by the passing years
Now walking humble by your side
My temper behind us, and my ignorance
No longer hiding behind my pride

The wake of all our love is true
Because the gift was worth the wait
I take the trail you set for us
In this life, awarded my soulmate

Our children are the seal in this
Our happiness, our shared content
This Valentine's is yours to give
And mine to take and complement

So take my heart within your grasp
And squeeze what's left to take
It's yours and yours alone to love
To be with you, in love I wake
