You

You stepped into my world and though we just met
I had missed you everyday before that.
I recognized you as the face of my desire,
past and present.
All along you were the one I reached for when
dreams left my arms empty.
At last I can open my eyes to love as real
as the loneliness I felt before you.
Your smile was like a love song written just for me;
everything about you was a comfortable fit.

Your touch is like soft petals of starlight
igniting a glow from beneath my skin.
I thirst for inspired words kissed by your lips
You opened up a side of me that fought so hard to
escape love's magnetic grasp.
Life before you was an existence of longing
and now grace has placed you within my reach.

Dream with me, grow with me,
be perfect for me just the way you are.
Have faith in me, trust me as butterflies
trust fragile wings will carry them to nectar-filled
blossoms on warm summer breezes.
Sit with me and appreciate the warm sun on our faces
breaking the spell of January's chill.

Come walk with me down heavenly streets layered
with leaves of fallen gold; inhale the change of seasons.
One love flowing from Him to you and I
unchanging and eternal,
strong as heaven is far,
destined as the moon is to bask in the light of the sun,
I must love you.
