Long nights and deep conversations
Were the bedrock of our love.
No matter what stage we were at,
And no matter what state we were in,
The words would find their way out of us.
Together we would use them
To forge a beautiful understanding
Of one another’s lives, loves, loathes,
And a litany of everything in between.

With a base like that,
How could we not fall in love?
The deepest, darkest corners of our souls
Had stared directly into one another,
Before embracing and passionately
Enveloping every inch of each other.

No history, no hurt, no desire, no despair
Was too much for either one of us.
We saw the sum of each other’s parts
In microscopic detail,
With no scar left unseen.

We held one another,
Pressed our foreheads brain to brain,
Looked deep through our eyes
Into each other’s souls
And we said “You are PERFECT”
Before sealing it with a kiss.

That, more than anything else,
Is the story of us and how we started.
No matter how much new ground
We have discovered within ourselves,
Or in each other throughout the years,
We still tell each other we are PERFECT,
And that is truly said with love.

That’s why I know that we will make it.
No matter what lays behind us,
Or what may lay ahead;
I know that you are PERFECT,
You let me know that I am PERFECT too,
So I know everything is going to be alright.
