Once upon a time

You asked who I like
I said a guy that's probably toxic
I didn't tell you who
Though I'm sure you knew

You see
I resigned myself to only being able to love toxic people
People who only want to see my pain
People who are there one second
The gone the next

But you are anything but toxic
You love me
Deeply
The love I figured I would never find
Patient
The word I would use to describe you
Funny
The time spent talk to you
Home
The sensation I feel when around you

I swore myself off of love
Told myself it only brought about pain
But there you stand
You have brought
Healing
Truth
Joy

You words play on repeat in my mind
Your touch is seared onto my skin
Your voice is imprinted into my heart
You have become a part of me
