A gentle love.

For my lover, if you are reading this. Thank you for always loving me. ♡

I always found myself afraid of loving another
Fearing what another was capable of
Their strength they could hold
It scared me.
So, I was skeptical when I had met someone new.
They were different.

I found myself comforted by the simplicity of their presence
The gentle tone of their voice
The calming melody of their laugh
The understanding in their words
It was a new feeling
My love for them slowly grew like no other.
Why do I love you so much?

You loved me knowing my past
You were kind to me when I didn’t deserve it
You loved me the way I loved you, I adored that.
You never changed for the worst, you only grew for the better.
You brought me out of a shell I never knew I was in
I was thankful for that, I still am.

From all the stars that fell from the sky;
You were the one I caught.
When laying in a garden of never ending flowers
You were the one I laid eyes on.
When I lay in my grave
I hope the memory if you sprouts into fields of dandelions
I know they’re your favorite.

I enjoy how different we are
Yet still so similar.
We are opposites
We enjoy opposite games
Opposite music
A maximalist and a minimalist
Even our pets
You have 5 cats; I have 5 dogs.
Our differences make us such a perfect pair.

I’m so overwhelmed by my love for you.
It’s a feeling like no other.
My favorite hobby is thinking of you
You’re always on my mind.
You are my favorite thought of the day, my only thought of the day.

I love you so much my heart almost stops.
You are my moon, the light in my night sky.

I love you.
