Of all the promises I made to myself
To live a better being;
Never did I once remember including-
To love someone so hard again.
Of all the things I planned out for myself,
Never did I remember including you
Or just someone like you for that matter-
To live with your kind of love.
No, you did not sweep me off my feet
You did not appear like a Prince,
And you were far from perfect,
Yet you were different in your own unique way.
I did not fall for you instantly,
Infact I don’t even remember when it all started;
All I know is that we were both imperfect ordinary beings-
So in love with each other’s imperfect broken and mended self.
That when our stories were shared
We felt like each part of a puzzle piece that was broken and long lost
That fitted perfectly when found.
But best of all-
We never tried to impress each another;
We were both living our own lives
But in the process of living our dreams and our survival-
We found one another.
And I won’t try to paint it all rosy,
It’s not pleasant and easy all the time,
But it’s definitely worth a fight-
Afterall love like this comes only once.
You respect me like any lady deserves,
You pamper me like any father would do to his daughter,
You guide me like any mentor would to his follower,
But most of all-
You listen to me and treat me like a true companion
Which makes me feel the safest and I am my truest self when I’m with you.
I know I don’t need a saving,
I can live without you, no doubt-
But I choose to love you each day
And I choose to let you walk beside me;
Not because I’m lonely,
Not because I need you or your love;
But because I want you,
To be by my side;
And I want to walk beside you,
And give you all of my loving
And get all of your loving,
Unconditionally.
It may not last forever,
I’d wish upon the stars for it to last as long as I live though-
Yet I will cherish it for as long as it lasts;
As it may not be the best of all
But this love definitely is one of a kind.
