You

You are what I've wanted my whole life;

A hand to hold,

A shoulder to cry on,

An ear to my deepest fears,

my life ambitions,

and my hearts yearnings.

You are what my soul has needed;

a safe place,

a protector of my heart,

and someone to grow with.

To find my imperfectly perfect person

in a world full of chaos

has left some mending,

but the beauty that lays ahead,

well, that's our love story.

Waiting for what seems a lifetime,

learning that what life throws at you

only makes you appreciate more

the joys you'll find in the new life.

When wishing on a star took years to deliver,

the genuine connection and happiness

makes it worth the wait and fight.
