I adore him
and that is the beginning and end of everything

he is the greatest thing
I never planned

he feels warm and familiar
when I feel most lost

he feels solid and safe
when I’m most vulnerable

he came without warning
and had my heart before I could say no

I promise to trust him
because he always helps me gasp for air
when someone has left me drowning

I will always treasure him
because anywhere that I am held in his arms
feels more like home than any house ever could

it is no surprise I get lost in his blue eyes
I have always feared deep waters
but I long to drown in his ocean eyes

on the day he turns and looks at me
to say “after all this time?”
I will simply gaze back and reply “always”

when I met him
he was easy on the eyes
and by no surprise
his heart had me mesmerised

I adore him
and that is the beginning and end of everything
