Light

I wish to now express to you

This feeling that my heart speaks true.

What's happened here is just and right,

Bestowing herculean might.

It seems but yesterday I saw

A beauty that left me in awe.

Like moth to flame I moved to see

And quell my curiosity.

I wish that you could know that joy

And hopes that I did then employ.

As they unfolded like a dream,

I could do naught but gaze and beam.

My smile never left my face,

And though I'd known my heart to race,

I let you know that though It'd run

This was the first time that It'd won.

And It was then I fell for you.

It felt too good that you did too.

But gracefully you swept me up.

My unkempt joy spilled from my cup.

From here we seemed to grow so fast,

All timid fear left in the past.

And you became a part of me,

A light that always brings me glee.

It seems I've known you all this time,

Though without reason, without rhyme.

I don't care that it makes no sense.

I'll fight against all false pretense.

For you're the sun that climbs and falls.

You're the voice that always calls

When I'm in need and cannot sleep.

This ambient fervor reaches deep.

You're so much more than my best friend,

Because together we transcend

Whatever problems we might face,

And still remain here in this space

That we have fought to call our own.

I'm proud to say this is my home.

Wherever you are, there I'll be,

And all shall now be called to see

It's in my heart that you reside.

Forever will you there abide.

I wish that words could mean much more.

To strength of writing I implore.

I wish for you to know this state.

I'm so sure now this is our fate.

Analogies don't quite assume

The roles I want them to presume.

It looks as if it's come to this.

I'm sorry if I seem remiss.

I cannot find another way

To speak what my heart begs to say.

So here it is, laid bare to see,

With all the strength inside of me.

Sweetheart, I love you. Always, true.

There's nothing I won't do for you.

For I would face the worst of life.

I'd tackle any fearful strife

If in the end, it meant you're here

For me to claim and hold me near.

Your warmth does things I can't relate.

No way could I articulate

My love for you, Its strength or will.

Even in death, I'll remain still,

Eternally yours, I'll always know;

Darling, I love you, unequivocally so.
