Almost high school sweethearts until addiction tore us apart
Meeting up a couple years later, still with a fluttering heart
Two new, improved people with the same feelings inside
Helping me overcome saddness, willing to stay for the bumpy ride
With only one year under our belts, it feels like so much more
A fulfilling year of friendship and love, adoration to the core
Our life hasn't been easy this far, trials and times apart
But one trial ended up a blessing, giving hope a whole new start
A little bundle of crying purity, giving this world new meaning
Its been so hard but our love has grown stronger, never, ever weening
Although still in our early twenties, we live life like people older
We matured so quickly but our love is young, offering a hand or a shoulder
We belly-laugh, we shed tears, we move forward together
You make me smile, lift me up, help me see sun... regardless of weather
Before we were one beating heart, I was broken into tiny pieces
But you gave me a whole new outlook, gave me peaceful releases
I love you for who you are and who I became while with you
After years of abuse and pain at the hands of others
You gave me hope and optimism, concepts so beautifully new
I can't say it enough. I am madly, deeply in love with you.
Author notes
Update- It turns out not to be true love; instead it was a loving learning experience.

This is just beautiful and to know that it's a true story makes it all the more filled with emotion. Nice rhyme also. Best wishes in the contest.

these couplets ending in a tercet are very nicely formatted, and the rhyme and flow are well done ... this poem of love and maturing through that love is very strong and hope filled.
thank you for your entry in this contest
