you.
the thought bounces
around the walls of my mind.

i've fought through caverns of creatures,
barrages of beasts,
and trepidatious trials,
all for the pleasure of seeing
that radiant face.

i wouldn't have it any other way.
the years this sword has seen
only made it wiser.
the cracks in it are homely.
routine repairs are required,
but i'm in top condition
to protect you from any further beasts.

when i gaze into your soul,
i see years upon years
of dancing around the kitchen,
big swooping hugs,
relaxing nights in,
impromptu serenades,
and all the like.
believe me, i would do anything
to see this future through.

you singlehandedly changed
the course and direction
my life was heading in.
you were the destination all along.
the 'x' that marked the spot,
our spot, nestled in each other's hearts.

you've become a part of me.
i accept you as you are,
my sweet italian dessert
piped full of cream.

i did not know perfection
had a definition
until i experienced you for the first time.

however, the word is not the airbrushed ideal
that everyone thinks it to be.
perfection itself is still raw.

perfection means
that i would not change a single thing
about you
if given the chance.
and i wouldn't.

i love you.
YOU.
the you that stands before me.
and i want nothing else.
i will NEED nothing else
for the rest of my existence.

your toothy smile
and your giant hands
and your musical genius
and your caring heart
and your touching, heartfelt words
are my reasons for waking in the morning.

you are the fire in my soul.
you are all my hope and joy.

lace your fingers with mine, darling,
let it stay that way for eternity.
i'll be your forever.
