Love Sonnet (I have forgotten the number)

i loved you, then
I longed for you
as the sand beneath
my feet starts to slip
I again long for your 
tender little hand
to hold me here
along with you and
not let me slip away

I loved you, then
I dreamed about you
each night of mine
I spent far being
away from you
my dreams with
eyes open or close
had just you in them
that's why I dreamed
to see you and behold
the fading image
in my heart forever

I loved you then
I adore you now
for the strength that
you carry in you
to overcome all
odds that pull you
try to pin you
and yet you fight
to overcome them
with inner resolve
stronger than any
yet you retain
your innocence
your tenderness

I loved you then
and I love you now
and seek to take
away the sorrows
that plague you
your life today
and at each dusk
so that you sleep
peacefully with dreams
of life and sea
of greens and sun
of moon lit nights
and sounds of life

I loved you then
and I love you now
