When everyone left
I was left bereft
When all were gone
And all was done
You stayed by my side
And were always the one to bide
You didn't have to open your arms wide
For a smile said it all in my puzzled mind
Never a word, just a stare
Never a touch for you wouldn't dare
Mysterious and cold
Yet comforting and bold
It was all written in the books
It was all inferred from your looks
Blessed in the shadow of loneliness
You never faltered despite the mess
Wandering alone in the woods
I knew you'd come all too soon
But you came as kind as a white knight
You saved me from the darkness of the night
And revived that shrivelled soul of mine
You lifted me out of boredom
And shed light on my lost Kingdom
You were quiet and composed
But when you spoke, you didn't pause
Your voice was soothing
Your words had meaning
And your presence was a blessing
Since the dawn of time, I never felt so light
Because you made life bright; you made it right
"Lost and insecure, you found me"
Since then, you never left me
And you waited after all these years
Never stopping to hope despite the tears
Never failing to believe despite the storm
Because you knew and never asked for more
For that, I'd forever be grateful...
