An old face made anew, you came out from the doldrums of my life and into the spotlight. How we overlooked each other remains a mystery, but I hope you never fade back.
The late hours of my nights are spent exchanging texts with you until my tired eyes slowly fade shut. Conversations about everything and nothing that make me laugh and keep me giddy. Talks that color my soul and make my dark past fade away to mere memory.
I fade into a blissful sleep with a smile on my lips as your face and words dance around in my thoughts. Even when I'm deep in slumber, you remain at the forefront of my thoughts and never leave.
You set my dreams on fire as you look for a place to settle within my soul. I welcome you inside without hesitation, my soul is your home. Stay for a while and make yourself comfortable.
As I open my sleepy eyes in the morning, you instantly glide across my slowly awakening conscious before any other thoughts. That same smile I fell asleep with is restored. As if it even left throughout the night at all.
I am looking at the world through heart-shaped eyes and a crooked smirk. I notice a change in my being. I realize how you are influencing my life and what I am feeling.
This feeling is familiar and foreign, but I instantly recognize it. I am in love, without any room for denial, and I let it take over. I let it lift me up and color my universe.
This time is wildly different from all the others. I try to put heavy meaning into this overused phrase. I am not in lust, I am not in comfort, I am in love. All similar and intertwined, but vastly different categories.
Your face a vivid picture, your voice a resonating sound, and your scent a wandering aroma. I can almost bring you to life with just my thoughts. I can feel you here when you are nowhere close.
You excite me and put me at ease. You comfort me and take me out of my comfort zone. You are everything familiar and new. You are a best friend and a lover. You are a logical paradox of what a love should be.
I don't quite know how to thank you enough for your presence. Just simply being in your space makes my life a better place. Your aura naturally heals my scars, your authenticity is everything I've always craved.
You closed the old chapter of my dark life and reopened a story that has no end. I have become a new richer version of myself and my life has forever changed for the better.
Thank you for being alive, thank you for being you.
