This love we have is

Beautiful, warm, inviting, solid.

We’ve been through so much, you and I

We’ve journeyed to

Be together. You’ve been

My rock when I needed it the most

I lay my head on your chest

And listen to your heartbeat.

This is home. You are home for me.

You’ve protected me

From dangers seen and unseen

You’ve sheltered my secrets.

And safeguarded a love solely meant for you.

 

I lay my head on your chest.

And listen to your heartbeat.

I can rest easily, for I know that

No matter how terrible and ugly and chaotic and destructive

This world can be…you won’t break.

My chest begins to hurt

When I feel the love I have for you

You’re like the shelter from the storm, I am safe.

I feel light-hearted, worry-free, and genuinely at peace

When we are together.

Making love is not really what I think of, just the cuddle part

For I know that if we grow old together,

And you cannot get it up anymore and I can no longer get wet

Cuddling is all that we will do…

For this love we have is unconditional, suspended in time, and a breath of fresh air

 

It is the rest after a long day, it is a drink of water in the hot sun

It is a peace amidst a world of chaos…

It is a gentle shelter I call Home.
