poem: The Only One
Title: The Only One
Pairing: John/Elizabeth
Genre: poetry
A/N: So I was watching a bunch of Sparky clips and Sparky vids and then felt the need to write something for them that at least attempted to explain why I feel that John and Liz are so perfect for each other. It came out as a poem. :) It's not from either John or Elizabeth's point of view, but more of window into both of their thoughts, since they're so marvelously in-sync about most things.
-----------
I never expected to find a home.
I never expected to feel this way.
But this place is drawing me closer,
And you give me a reason to stay.
You aren’t what I envisioned.
You aren’t what I first thought.
And something about you pulls me in;
I’m safe, though I am caught.
I look into your eyes.
I see what you don’t speak.
You understand like no one else;
Give strength when I am weak.
I can do what needs to be done.
I can say what needs to be said.
Rise up to meet the world and its demands,
And you’re the only one who understands.
I’ve never felt this balance.
I’ve never felt this whole.
From minute one, just you and me;
Some matching of my soul.
We love this place like no one else.
We found where we belong.
And we would give up anything
To keep our city strong.
I can’t breathe when you’re in danger.
I can’t stop my pounding heart.
It’s always you I think of first,
Whenever disasters start.
With you I let my guard down.
From your eyes I cannot hide.
Every inch of me, from heart to hands...
And you’re the only one who understands.
If I’m honest, this means more.
If I’m honest, then it’s you.
By your side, my heart’s at your command.
‘Cause in the end you always understand.
