My Definition of Comfort

I look into your eyes and I get lost

the world can be crashing and burning around me and yet all I will see is your smile when you bring me in your arms nothing around me can change safety

it’s a foreign word slipping off of my tongue and yet I feel it with you

I feel at home

another word that is so foreign

because I’ve never thought of a place being home and now I found out that home isn’t always a place it could be a person and you were that for me

like a warm blanket wrapped around me your love cascades through me

beautifully and expeditiously

I am lost in the beauty of it all

like a diamond in the rough you plucked me from the ground and showed all of my potential with just a touch of love and Hardwork breaking things down for me in a way for me to understand showing me that real love doesn’t have to be boastful or hard that it can be easy and kind never knowing that this was exactly what I needed you were exactly everything I was looking for and I didn’t even know it

50 years from now you will still bring me that same comfort tremendously I am completely and irrevocably yours we are the textbook definition of our version of love and to think we are stories that they put in the movies you being my first love and now you’ll be my last
