Long before now,
I crossed paths with this boy—
With brown eyes that held quiet warmth,
Black hair like soft midnight,
A glorious smile that lights up my world,
And a surreal voice that brings me joy.
His heart became my home.
In his eyes, I saw my future—
He made me want a future
I had not wanted until him.
In his voice, I found undying heaven;
In him, I found my paradise.
He, as the brightest star in a sky of constellations,
Taught me the meaning of love.
I never knew love
Until I met him.
There was rhythm in the way he spoke,
Grace in every step,
A heartbeat of time in his presence.
Every giggle made my heart skip—
And when it finally sank in,
I knew he was love.
Him—
The one I choose for every tomorrow,
The one who carries all the love in my body and soul,
The one I dream of, the one my heart always wishes for,
The one my heart has always belonged to,
The one I live for,
The one I would die for.
