I love the way your eyes sparkle with life
Every time I look into them;
Reborn from the ashes of lost love,
Is a newfound spark—hope;
That there can be a future again.
That someone can accept everything you are;
Regardless of the flaws, the insecurities—
See you in your most vulnerable state;
But never judge. Simply listen;
Take in what you have to offer,
Because love does not ask for perfection.
It’s the stroke of your hand on my cheek;
The gentleness in your voice as
Your shining eyes stare into mine—
Asking to see everything hiding inside.
All my thoughts, dreams, hopes, fears;
Until I have nothing left to hide.
Emotionally and physically naked
I stand before you; completely exposed—
But I am not afraid.
And it is in this moment;
I realize I have never been more complete;
This moment is love.
