An acrostic

Yesterday, we were young

Opening to doors to lives yet unlived

Until we found our lights in darkest places.

-0-

Another day side by side with you. As the

Radiant sun shines down on your smiling face, and

Everything we've grown to be together.

-0-

Before you spoke to me, displayed your most hidden self

Every morning was grey, bleak, lacking hope, joy

And those little quiet moments of perfect calm.

Useless dreams and broken fantasies filled my days

Till I learned how to read your secret words

Internalized your words, their hidden meanings

Found the courage to see myself as you do

Undeniable that I, at long last, have fallen in

Love with you

    My god.... I know you're still not comfortable with poetry, but man would you have anyone else fooled!! This hit a place in my soul and I just can't even.... Like I can't properly express how this makes me feel... just beautiful! 💚
