To Love someone
dearer than your life
is a beautiful but reckless feeling.

To trust your heart
in the hands of your lover,
you surrender to the eventual consequence
of its demise or the birth of something beautiful.

Either way, you have to
walk on fire and
bare your soul out,
speak your truth and
follow your heart however frightening
it may be to discover whether
your love has the potential to bloom or
is it going to rot away.

You have to go down that
scary road towards
the eye of the storm
-hand in hand with your partner
at some point of your relationship.
And you either come out stronger than ever
or you don’t come walking out of the storm together.

You grow together
You inspire each other
You bring out the best in each other.
You belong together.

Darling, the way you inspire me.
I am mad for you.
Your quiet ways and idiosyncrasies
your silly habits and your passions,
I indulge them all.

The way your calm washes over me
as we deal with our storms
hand in hand -a testament of our love.

You embrace my weird
and call it wonderful.
You make me feel beautiful from the inside.
It’s frightening- but I have never felt more alive, empowered and vulnerable all at the same time.

I am glad my heart
chose you to fall in love with.
I am glad that it still gravitates towards you.
You’ve become my heart’s compass.
