You're the spoken word to my poetic tone. I am nothing but a weak whisper. When your love captures me, I am megaphones blaring. Trees whisper to the leaves 'They're in love" and the wind plays our theme music, like a madrigal in midday. The deepest depths of me that were nothing but cobwebs and midnight moons, felt your love. You fastened heartstrings together with safety pins and scotch tape, and wiping all my tears away.
[if ever they rain down, you'd wash my pain away]

I look at other people and feel sorry for them. They are missing out on the sweetness of life and a blessing that healed a curse. I could have waited so much longer, but you came along and changed my course. Why couldn't I have been with you sooner? I am sorry it took so long. My beautiful regis filia, the one I share my joys with and the diary entry of my heart's chambers. [you want to know of my days]
iii.
If today was a storm, you'd be my shelter. When I am a consuming burden, you are my strength to stand. The passion in your voice to assure me it's alright. All the humor I can't seem to find, I know you'll provide. You are oxygen too good to breathe, but I refuse to let this love pass on by.
I can see the future in your eyes and how they connect with me. I have a deep desire to be the love you'll always need and to be the provision every girl desires. I want to be the fairy tale prince you thought didn't exist, but really, was standing right here. I want you to be the reason why I have a love story to write, why it's hard to sleep at night, and with every mistake I make, I think about how I failed you.
Because your love has brought me to a place I've never been before
and to a place I don't ever want to leave.
