Discovering The 'L' word

The moment I was in your hands for the first time,

I knew it was true…

The feelings I kept suspecting might just be platonic,

Maybe we were just really good friends...

I would remember just being around you,

The feeling of fullness that came with it.

I would recall how you kissed me,

I would remember how right it felt.

I would remember how you protect me,

How you became my safe space.

I would recall how you tell me how proud of me you were,

How you raised my confidence.

I would remember how you would go to the extra lengths to see me smile,

How you became the only true source of my joy.

I would recall how you looked at me,

Like I was the only thing that mattered,

I would remember how you spoil me,

How you ensured I was always satisfied.

I would never love again until I found you,

I believe that now...

Who could make me feel like you do?

I need you constantly,

Your smile,

Your face,

Your touch,

Your lips,

Your presence,

I need all of you.

Cause you complete me,

I never realised there was something missing.

Just imagining life without you,

It breaks my soul,

There goes my heart beating,

And you are the reason.

If only you know what you did to me,

How happy you make me.

Through the pain of the distance,

the hurt of not talking much,

The longing for touch,

The craving for your kisses,

I never regret anything.

I would go through it all forever,

If it meant you’d still be mine.

I’d really cry every mountain

And swim every ocean,

Just to be with you.

The hardest thing I can imagine right now,

Is ever having to get over you.

Cause it would never be possible

I’ve heard of a love that comes once in a lifetime,

I’m pretty sure this is my last stop.

There’s nowhere else to turn to,

You’re all I would ever need.

I see my forever with you,

I see the dynasty we would build together…

Love to some might be food,

It might be sex,

It might be money.

But True love to me,

Is you.
