True Love

[to_exist]

"True Love" --4/17/05

In this crowded world of mine
my heart has opened up to you
this feeling inside of me...

A simple touch,
it made my heart beat wildly
The look in your eyes,
my breath catches in my throat even now as I think about it
Your lips against mine,
the heat floods through my body

Sometimes it feels as though you don't really exist
I'm here
You're there
But seeing you,
for the first time
It was like a dream come true
knowing you weren't a figment
something I made up

Now I know that true love is real
because in you...
That's where I find it
Your heart
Your soul
You've helped me breathe again
to feel like my worth matters
And eve as the tears fell from my eyes
You understood...
...For the same tears fell from yours

Breathing deep
my heart beats steadily
knowing I'm cherished
I'm trusted
I'm beautiful
But above all else...
I am loved,
by You

The man who came into my life unexpectedly
Who took a chance with his broken heart
let me see him
all of him
No questions asked
No bards held
for we both took the chance
falling...
...hopelessly
...completely
...utterly...

...in love.

And James,
I'll love you always and forever
because now
My heart
My mind
My soul
they all belong to you
You are my one
My only
My true love
