I wasn’t looking for you. But then you came along and it’s like every moment I experienced love secondhand, finally made sense. Every song I heard about a lost lover, I clung to its melodies with bloody hands. Every story written about their missing piece, I finally understand.
When you walked into my life with well wishes and kisses, you awoke the love in me that I was so desperately missing. Your tenderness unmatched. Your devotion unwavering. Who am I to deserve this true act of bravery?
And oh do you show me how deserved I am. How I’m honorable, patient, and a loving friend. You remind me of all the good I possess. You remind me it’s natural to be sort of a mess.
I’d cross the rubble of every bridge burned just to be with you like we deserve. I’d beg, borrow, and steal just to get to your heart so we may heal.
But none of that is necessary. My heart beats for you; heavy. I’ll be yours until time stops. When the heart of the universe no longer beats for us. Then I’ll find you again. In some new galaxy where our love knows no end.
