Breathe

This was when I met my husband, i was going through a very rough time.

Sometimes I forget to breathe
And sometimes I forget to see
The brighter side to the darker me.
But there's a light shinning through
Just by all the little things you do.
From every laugh, to every giggle and every content sigh
I've stopped asking why.
I've stopped questioning faith, and gods plans.
Because I've truly been blessed, with one of a kind man.
Years and years of hell,
Over and over I fell
Till I built walls so high 
I began to believe alone, I'd die.
Yet there was a knock,
Then a pebble at my window,
Then a damn rock, banging against the wall.
And I'd listen, sitting at the wall, I'd listen to his call,
That he'd never do me any harm.
And I used a knife I held close, slowly chipping at the wall, as I heard him do the same.
And it's a shame it took as long as it did to just now start to fall
But it's tumbling down,
Rubble all around,
though there's still parts here and there still built 
I've watched the roses bloom after their wilt
And I've watched the darkness scatter from the newly found light.
Even as night approaches each day,
The moon is so bright
I get to see all that is mine in this broken cage. 
Every day you slowly help fix this, and fix that, 
Rolling out an old welcome home mat
There's a whole new vibe to this place 
I never knew love had a face
But it's beautiful 
And we're beautiful 
And this is so much more.
I'm sure,
I love you.

Beautiful poem. I did notice "shining" was spelt wrong and I think you meant "contented sigh" Otherwise very solid. Good job.
