it's the beauty that made me realize
i wanted you
and it is the first kiss that made me
let you in
i had been swimming in an ocean of darkness
and i realized your brightness is the light
i had missed all along
it's your love that swept me like a typhoon
and in an island of commitments
i landed
it's your trust that made me realize nothing
could break us apart

forever felt like a very long time
but we lost count of time along the way
the ember of our love  became
an eternal flame and
our fingers  entangled like vines
a story was rewritten
love was reborn
