For so long, I carried the weight of shadows,
A heart bruised by the ache of what came before.
But now, the space beside me hums with quiet,
And it no longer scares me anymore.
You walked in, soft and steady,
Turning the dark into something warm.
You were spring after a bitter winter,
Bringing life where sorrow once stayed.
I still wonder how love found me through you
Was it destiny, or did I simply leave the door ajar?
I remember our first date,
Your hand trembling, reaching for mine.
I almost laughed at your nervous grace,
But your touch melted the walls I’d built to hide.
Because of you, the weight I carried
Lifted, like fog at sunrise.
You turned sorrow into something soft,
A happiness I never thought I’d know again.
You made love feel so easy,
Like blossoms turning toward the light.
And still, I find myself asking
How did someone like you choose someone like me?
I can’t help but love the way your scent fills the air,
When I’m with you, it surrounds me
A reminder of your warmth, of your presence,
As if the world slows down just for that moment.
It clings to the breeze like a soft memory.
You smoothed my edges,
Like rivers shaping stones.
You filled the spaces I didn’t know were empty,
And made me whole in ways I never imagined.
Sometimes, I’m afraid
Not that you’ll leave, or find someone else,
But that joy might slip through your fingers,
Or pain might find you when I cannot shield you.
And more than that, I fear the world,
Its walls built by faith and names we did not choose.
What if love isn’t enough to cross them?
What if life calls you to a place I cannot follow?
I hope you savor every joy life brings,
And quietly, I wish to be beside you,
Sharing each moment, each taste, as it unfolds.
If ever the day comes when you’re no longer near,
And the world feels colder, quieter, without your light,
May your kisses linger like whispers on my skin,
Your warmth wrap me, soft as morning sun.
May your touch stay gentle in memory’s hand,
And your smile bloom each time I laugh again.
