Come forth

You come forth and appear

What had been missing, suddenly here

It moves - oh so quick, not even four dates

Still, we secured, why wait?

Open arms are not to be taken for granted

In the name of love, we planted

Seeds of love, still sprouting - forever scattered

Difficulties lie ahead, yet we’re neither scared

Scarred? Yes. Hurt enough to be on guard?

No, we appreciate paths taken regardless

Of what had been missing

We always count our blessings

You see not everything is destined

Life never really works as how we intend it

It just leads, and we just follow

Like how we just knew, just as we know now how

When our spaces converged, we’ve been forever falling

And meeting halfway whenever needed, and always growing

In such a microcosm that cannot be measured

I have no words for such phenomena, all I can muster

Is a feeling recognised, of joy, of comfort

Have I the chance to have touched upon it?

How you, being near is enough,

That I’ve not known of such delight since I was a child

Of how you lean in to kiss me, with loving smiles

Gentle, carefree, and oh so fun

Yet purposeful like flowers bending towards the sun

With open arms extending - like a trellis keeping me upright

Only you can know; my fears of withering that keep me up at night,

And that the older I get, the more afraid I have become

Of thunder and things that come crashing down

But hearing your beating heart, feeling its warmth - dispels all concerns

It has and shall continue to weather any storm

Even the thought of being six feet underground, devoured by worms

And black holes, it bothers me no more

For what it’s worth, that says it all, when all is said and done

With a love like ours, I'm forever grateful for what will come

With you, my future is bright and all my fears will ultimately disappear

All because you had come forth and appeared
