Until you…
I had never known
what makes a heart truly beat.

You are the glow
that awakens my spirit,
the tremor beneath my feet,
the hand that steadies me.

Until you…
I had only dreamed of love
a longing I could never hold,
an image I could not release.

But now I stand before you
not desperate, but whole.
Ready…
to be the best of me.

So I vow,
to honor the love you’ve shown me,
to cherish the joy you’ve given me,
and to never forget
that until now…
I had never known
a love like this.
