When I Met You — Everything Finally Made Sense

When I met you,

it all just made sense.

All the songs,

all the poems I would write,

everything I longed for,

everything I hoped to find one day,

everything I spoke into existence—

I found with you.

Everything I’ve ever dreamt of,

we had.

Dreams do come true—

I’ve looked and finally,

I know this now

because I found you.

Dreams…

something I had,

something I still have,

and I can only hope

maybe these shared dreams

will continue to be with you.

I want you here forever—

but if not,

then I’ll see you in some other way.

I’ll see you in another life.

I’ll see you in another dream.

And yes, I miss you.

I miss us.

I’ll give you space and time,

even though all I want

is to be there—

to be with you,

to lay everything out on the table.

But I won’t.

I’ll be patient.

I’ll be here.

If the world turns into chaos,

if life becomes something unreal,

I’ll still be here.

I’ll look for you—

because I’ve never been so sure,

so certain about anything before.

When it comes to us,

I am.

When it comes to you and me,

that’s the one thing

I’d always put every card on the table for.

No regrets.

Nothing but pure love,

pure intentions,

something real.

I hope everything I gave you,

and everything I still have to give,

always shows that—

that what I offer

is real,

will always be real.

It comes from my heart,

deep within my heart,

because that’s what you pull out of me.

You bring forward the parts of me

I was scared to show again.

You pulled out the pieces of me

that were hurt—

because with your touch,

you touch me like you never want to stop,

like every inch of me

is a promise you meant to keep.

Your love moves slow—

patient,

certain—

and in your hands,

I forget the world ever hurt me.
