Forever yours

Looking back

I realize there wasn’t a time

When I wasn’t yours

My soul needed you

Right from the start

Right from the first time you shook my hand,

And smiled at me,

The first time you hugged me as I cried.

You filled my desperate lungs with air,

When I hadn’t yet understood that I had been drowning.

You gave my soul flight,

When I didn’t know I was tethered.

My waters are no longer stagnant,

You’ve showed me the way to the ocean.

It took too long to recognize

That you’re the keeper of my heart,

My guiding light.

My lover, my partner and my best friend.

My sunshine on a cloudy day.

I am yours. Completely and irrevocably.

I think always have been.

Right from the start

Your soul called out to mine

And called me home.
