From nowhere you burst into my life like a shooting star racing across the night sky.

Slowly you began the arduous work of mending a heart you did not break.

Every word that escaped your lips a balm for the bruised and bloody wounds so carelessly gifted to me.

With your hand in mine I learned to love again. To trust again.

In your eyes I saw forever - blissful, peaceful, safe. Each kiss a promise that I’ll never be alone again. Every caress a reminder of my worth.

In your arms, I found my home.
