You are everything
And nothing
Like all
I've
Ever
Wanted
We hold each other
Through deaths of loved ones
Bad work days
We shield each other
Through any
Obstacle
We
Encounter
You are a mirror of myself
My lingering insecurities and foolish expectations
My unrealized needs
And
Fervent
Desires
You're my teacher and you don't even know it
If you did, you wouldn't own it
Due to your
Neverending
Self-deprecating
Nature
You've shown me
What it means
To
Be
Tender
My open arms
Have become your favorite
Place
To
Rest
I am thankful
To call you
My
First
Love
I am glad
To have met you as
I
Am
Now
Not as I was
Nor as you were
For far too often
I have watched
My friends' "first loves"
Become the first
Of
Many
Regrets
I've witnessed too many instances
In which their "first loves"
Become the firsts in cycles of abuse
Left vying to recreate
That special experience
Again
And
Again
For they had met
Their "first loves"
Before they learned how
To
Love
Themselves
We still have
A long way to go
I mustn't become complacent
For I am no stranger
To
Sudden
Change
But for now
I will relish
In my unexpected
Stroke of luck
When I met you
At the birthday party of
A
Mutual
Friend
I will bask
In the honor
Of being the woman
To broaden
Your
Emotional
Depth
Right now
You are my forever
Oh my beloved
You
Are
My
Sanctuary
