A piece of my heart was missing.
I’d searched and searched,
But never found.
I’d come so close
Yet a part of me always knew
That it wasn’t true love.
I stumbled across you,
A long time crush of mine,
Right when I was at a point
Where I’d given up all hope
Of finding a fulfilling love.
I went into this relationship
A little surprised,
And a lot skeptical.
Everyone knows Mr. Right always waltzes in,
And turns into Mr. Too Good to be True.
I waited and watched,
But saw no mask,
No hidden intentions,
No mislead beliefs.
Reluctantly,
I began to fall for you.
My insecurities rose
And I assumed that
Their surfacing would provoke
Your departing,
But it wasn’t so.
You stood strong.
You had a way
To make me feel as though,
My worries were acceptable,
And most certainly untrue.
I thought to myself
That there was no Prince Charming,
So it’d only be a matter of time.
But a huge piece of me,
Hiding deep within,
Wanted you to be my Dream Come True.
I tried to hold back
These feelings of deep love,
Love like none ever before.
Of course I could not,
But did an excellent job of disguising them.
Then you did
What’s never been done before.
You threw my guard aside,
And swept me off my feet.
You told me we’d be together forever,
You wanted to spend your whole life with me.
You loved me for who I was,
Not what I did.
I asked you
If you’d ever been scared
To love without restraint,
And you admitted you had,
But weren’t anymore.
I told you I was,
And asked you how I could overcome this fear.
You told me simply,
I need not worry of losing you,
For we are meant to be.
You love me more than you can express,
And we will never be apart.
For you love me for who I am,
And you’d be lost without me.
You love to make me smile,
And how I can always cheer you up.
You love that we’re always having fun,
But we understand each other too.
You love that we both
Had long lasting crushes on one another,
And were given the chance
To act upon them.
You did
What I couldn’t imagine any other doing,
You stood by me,
You loved me,
You helped me.
Helped me to allow myself
To love you.
To love you without fear,
To let you make me complete.
