My light grew dim,
so yours could shine bright.
Unseen from the outside—
The love is kept within.
You care for me;
You care for my light.
Invisible in harmony,
But you know it’s alive.
I glistened by my own—
My glint forced to decrease;
You let my radiance release.
Now we burn as one.
Our lights intertwined—
Inseparable and fully aligned.
Dimness and light responding alike.
I care for you;
I care for your light.
Yours, diminished by my hollow night.
I need to shimmer bright to let your glow thrive.
I love you like nothing else in my life—
Enough to allow me the love I denied.

A poem written for my lovely girlfriend. The first poem I'm writing with a smile on my face.
