You are the first magical drop of sunlight
after years of endless rain.
You are my first breath of fresh air
after years of being smothered
every
single
day.
You are the remedy for my pain,
you are the blood in my veins,
every smile on my face,
and words cannot convey how
my heart aches when you’re away.
You are my missing piece,
my other half.
Every time you make me laugh
I am taken aback
how easy it is to be by your side.
How easy it is to forgive
forget,
to never go to bed upset,
to be myself,
to never relent
and never question your intent.
I may doubt your taste,
but never the way
you stare every time I wear…
well, anything.
You tell me I’m pretty,
that I’m out of your league,
when I’m the one
who feels undeserving.
Your love and affection
have never ceased to amaze me,
to reassure and persuade me
that I am a treasure worth keeping
when everyone else told me I’d never amount to anything.
I’m so thankful for your company,
for the way you complete me,
for the wonderful man
you’ve turned out to be.
You are smart, funny,
patient with me,
handsome,
sensitive,
and sweet
the prince I thought
I’d never meet.
You are the best thing
that’s ever happened to me.
And I’ll be damned
if I don’t make you
as happy as
you make me.
